This memorandum summarizes some of the basic physical properties of barium titanate, lead-zirconate titanate, and lead metaniobate which are of importance to the use of these materials as piezoelectric transducers. Emphasis is placed on the advantages of lead metaniobate due to its extended temperature range of operation and on the importance of further work to improve the quality of this material.
