ABSTRACT The polycrystalline samples of gadolinium-modified lead–zirconate–titanate (Pb1−xGdx (Zr0.52Ti0.48)1−x/4O3) (x = 0, 0.07, 0.10 and 0.12) (PGZT x/52/48) ceramics near morphotropic-phase boundary were prepared using conventional solid-state reaction route. XRD patterns show the formation of single-phase compounds in rhombohedral crystal system. SEM textures of the samples reveal uniform grain distribution. Frequency and temperature dependence of dielectric constant of the materials indicates non-relaxor behavior and indication of the diffuse phase transition at higher values of Gd concentration. The temperature dependence of P–E loops confirms ferroelectricity in the materials. The piezoelectric studies of the samples show enhancement in piezoelectric coefficients on substitution of Gd at the Pb site.
