Cobbling together a generic furnace with a standalone d33 meter results in severe thermal lag, grounding loops, and completely unsynchronized data. The MatMeas PMS-1000 is a dedicated, fully integrated piezoelectric temperature spectrum system. It perfectly synchronizes precision PID heating with high-speed electrical sampling, generating flawless, artifact-free temperature-dependent property curves.

As piezoelectric materials approach their Curie temperature, they often undergo violent structural volume changes that can crack the sample if held rigidly. The PMS-1000 features a dynamically adaptive clamping fixture that safely accommodates thermal expansion while maintaining rigorous electrical contact, securing your sample through the most aggressive phase transitions.

The PMS-1000 is designed to measure and analyze the temperature-dependent parameters of piezoelectric materials in real time. It characterizes coefficients like d33 and d31, dielectric permittivity, and resonance impedance spectra across a wide temperature range, helping researchers determine the temperature stability and depolarization temperature of materials.

Piezoelectric materials can undergo phase transitions or depolarization (losing their piezoelectric properties at the Curie temperature) when heated. The PMS-1000 integrates a high-precision heating chamber with stable PID temperature control to track these transitions in-situ, ensuring accurate, repeatable data.

The system evaluates standard piezoelectric ceramic samples of various shapes including circular discs, rings, blocks, and rectangular bars. Specialized, high-temperature sample fixtures are used to maintain reliable electrical contact without applying excessive clamping pressure that might alter the material's properties.
