Description
Summary:The authors sintered a Pb sub(5)Ge sub(3)O sub(11) ceramic sample and determined the parameters which are important for assessing its usefulness for pyroelectric detectors of infrared radiation. They prepared the Pb sub(5)Ge sub(3)O sub(11) ceramic by a normal sintering procedure and determined its chemical composition, microstructure, and preparation conditions. The ceramics were then studied for dielectric and pyroelectric properties and finally made into 25-150- mu m thin flakes as the active elements of a pyroelectric detector. The optimal detector was built using the ceramics with an excess of GeO sub(2).
