Abstract

Autonomous pulsed generators utilizing transverse shock wave depolarization (shock front propagates across the polarization vector P₀) of Pb(Zr_0.52Ti_0.48)O₃ poled piezoelectric ceramics were designed, constructed, and experimentally tested. It was demonstrated that generators having total volume of 50 cm³ were capable of producing the output voltage pulses with amplitude up to 43 kV with pulse duration 4 µs. A comparison of high-voltage operation of transverse and longitudinal shock wave ferroelectric generators is given.
