Sintering temperature has a pronounced effect of perovskite phase stability at the surface of Pb0.88Sr0.12Zr0.54Ti0.44Sb0.0203(PSZT) soft piezoelectric ceramics. After sintering 4h at 1070 deg C, XRD reveals only perovskite PSZT peaks in the bulk and at the surface. As sintering temperature increases, XRD from the ceramic surface reveals a second phase.
