Abstract
We studied a novel technique for controlling the elastic coefficient of a piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT) ceramic by connecting a negative-capacitance circuit that behaves as a "negative capacitor". Thus, we can realize control through a mechanism in which PZT is softened and hardened. On the basis of this technology, we developed a simple experimental system for intercepting elastic waves in the frequency range from 8 kHz to 110 kHz. We determined the attenuation factor in transmission loss of the experimental system, which was more than 10 dB in this frequency range. The maximum attenuation factor in transmission loss was about 60 dB at a frequency of 91 kHz.
