Fatigue of Lead Zirconate Titanate Ceramics II: Sesquipolar Loading

Abstract: Piezoelectric actuators generally are driven with unipolar electric load cycles. Although the obtainable strain is increased by small excursions into the negative field regime, this type of load cycle is rarely considered, as its long‐time reliability has been questioned. Here, we investigate the degradation of lead zirconate titanate during cycling between high positive and low negative electric fields. Measurements of the large and small signal parameters are used to quantify changes of the material. The fat… Show more

“…The results are shown in Fig. 34 There were two important factors accounting for the intermediate degree of fatigue induced by the semibipolar cycling of soft PZT materials. More than 40% reductions for the long stacks and the relative stable performance on the short ones were revealed.…”

“…On the other hand, donor-type functional centers rather occur as 'isolated' centers (Gd • Pb ) and the corresponding lead vacancies (V Pb ) generated for reason of charge compensation are located in distant coordination spheres [9]. When considering lattice vacancies, in particular the role of oxygen vacancies is currently controversially discussed with respect to dynamic phenomena such as ferroelectric aging [10,11] or electrical fatigue [12][13][14][15].…”

“…4 Several different mechanisms have been identified as the origin of fatigue in ferroelectrics; these include microcrack growth and coalescence due to internal residual stresses, 5,6 space charge formation, 2 and point defect clustering. [7][8][9] The development of fatigue depends on a variety of factors such as the nature of the load (electrical, mechanical), 9,10 type of waveform (unipolar, bipolar, sesquipolar), 11,12 frequency, 13 the chemical composition and structure/microstructure of the material, 14 and other environmental factors such as temperature. 15,16 Fatigue damage may also be localized in the nearelectrode regions.…”
