Lead Magnesium Niobate (PMN)

 

 

Lead magnesium niobate (PMN) materials are magnesium modified lead niobate compositions, which have low aging, superior coupling, high dielectric constant and a high charge constant. Lead magnesium niobate materials exhibit an electrostrictive or relaxor behavior where strain varies non-linearly (quadratically). These materials are used for hydrophones, actuators, receivers, projectors, sonar transducers and in micro-positioning devices. PMN forms solid solution alloys (PMN-PT) with lead titanate.
