  text: Ferroelectric ceramic materials have a wide range of applications because
    of their piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties. One of their most important
    physical properties is the specific heat. In this study, the specific heats of
    a series of lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) compositions in the vicinity of the
    morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) were measured. The temperature range was from
    1.8 to 300 K. It is believed that these are the lowest temperature measurements
    ever made on PZT. Differences between the specific heats of the different compositions
    were very small. However, the calculated Debye temperatures were slightly different.
    The results are useful in computing design parameters for technical devices.
