Abstract

Many instruments and sensors have been invented to measure pressure, with different advantages and disadvantages. Many factors like pressure range, accuracy, sensitivity, reproducibility, dynamic response, and cost are involved in developing a pressure measuring device. This research paper describes the study of variation in the dielectric constant of lead iron tungstate relaxor specimens with pressure and temperature. In this study, the investigator optimized the specimen's preparation method by changing calcination temperature, adding excess lead oxide, using conventional mixed oxides and columbite routes to improve the specimen's pressure-sensing properties. This study adds another pressure-sensing application of relaxor materials among many other applications.
