‘Time-resolved and orientation-dependent electric-field-induced strains in lead zirconate titanate ceramics

Abstract: Electric-field-induced lattice strains in a tetragonal ferroelectric lead zirconate titanate bulk ceramic are characterized under application of subcoercive cyclic electric fields using neutron diffraction and a stroboscopic data collection technique. At a driving electric field equal to half of the coercive field, the field-induced lattice strains are found to be a function of orientation with the greatest electric-field-induced strain coefficient of 680pm∕V in crystal orientations such that the 211 pole is p… Show more

“…As previously discussed, at the temperature range where the material shows incipient piezoelectricity, the electromechanical response is due to repeated poling and depoling originating from a reversible electric‐field‐induced phase transition. As poling/depoling is accompanied by domain switching, the frequency dependence of this extrinsic strain response is expected . The strain at temperatures above 110°C is due to electrostriction and consequently presents negligible frequency dependence.…”

“…Improved poling of ceramics at MPB and facilitated domain wall displacement in ceramics add to this intrinsic mechanism. However, as shown by Jones et al (2007) and Hall et al (2005), internal stresses in ceramics, interactions among grains and domains, and local texture affect the overall intrinsic as well as extrinsic response of ceramics and should not be neglected.…”

“…Recent time-resolved x-ray experiments on tetragonal phase, poled ceramic PZT illustrate that the effective d 333 piezoelectric coefficient was nearly zero suggesting negligible lattice distortion from an applied field. [6][7][8] When the field was applied at angles that are not aligned with the polarization, the effective d 333 coefficient increases to a maximum near 45 • and then begins to decrease as the angle between the applied field and polarization approach 90 • . The result suggests polarization rotation is the primary effect influencing deformation.…”
