Abstract
Saturated domain orientation textures of three types of pseudocubic (tetragonal, rhombohedral, and orthorhombic) ferroelectric ceramics after complete electric and uniaxial tension (compression) poling is studied analytically in this paper. A one-dimensional orientation distribution function (ODF) of the domain polar vectors is explicitly derived from the uniform inverse pole figures of the poling field axes on a stereographic projection with respect to the fixed crystallite coordinates. The analytical ODF is used to obtain the analytical solutions of saturated polarization and strain after electric/mechanical poling. Based on the closed form solution of the saturated domain orientation textures, the resultant intrinsic electromechanical properties of ferroelectric ceramics, which depend only on the ODF and properties of the corresponding single crystals, are obtained. The results show how the macroscopic symmetries of ferroelectric crystals change from 4mm (tetragonal), 3m (rhombohedral), and mm2 (orthorhombic) single crystals to a ∞mm (transversely isotropic) completely poled ceramic.
