A class of ceramic compositions according to the formula Pb(1-z)Mz(Mn1/3Sb2/3)x(ZryTi1-y)1-xO3 where M is selected to be either Sr or Ba, x is selected to be between 0.01 and 0.1, y is selected to be between 0.35 and 0.55, and z is selected to be between 0.01 and 0.10. In some embodiments of the above composition, one or more dopants is added to the compositions. The dopant(s) may be selected from the group comprising: PbO, CeO2, SnO2, Sm2O3, TeO2, MoO3, Nb2O5, SiO2, CuO, CdO, HfO2, Pr2O3, and mixtures thereof. The dopants can be added to the ceramic composition in individual amounts ranging from 0.01 wt % to up to 5.0 wt %. The preferred ceramic compositions exhibit one or more of the following electromechanical properties: a relative dielectric constant (∈) of between 1200 and 2000, a mechanical quality factor (Qm) of between 1500 and 2800; a piezoelectric strain constant (d33) of between 250-450 pC/N, a dielectric loss factor (tan delta) of between 0.002-0.008 and a thickness electromechanical coupling coefficient (kt) of between 0.45 and 0.7. |
