✦ Synopsis

Compositions

of lead zirconate-titanate (PZT) are of great interest for manufacturing piezo-electric ceramics. During manufacture selective volatilization of elements can occur in high-temperature treatments. Therefore. the chemical composition of these materials should be determined after these treatments. Further, the amounts of unreacted oxides must be known for production control. Analytical procedures for this purpose have been described by Goode el ctl.' and by Robinson and Joyce'.

However, relatively accurate determinations of minor additions of elements ("dopes") are also required. Here, emission spectroscopy, as described by Mirti and Shivak3, lacks the accuracy desired and few other analytical methods have beea proposed in the literature to solve this problem.

Moreover, these analytical procedures may run into difficulties, if certain minor constituents are present, and the sophisticated instruments described may not be ccad_~ awa'ha'rhe, X-R~_Y auorcsccncc J. t-l.
