Abstract

(Bi3+,Fe3+) co-doped Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT-BF) and single Fe3+ dope Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT-F) ceramics were prepared by solid state reaction method and their ferroelectric properties were investigated. The results showed that ferroelectric property of (Bi3+,Fe3+) co-doped PZT ceramics were very different from that of single Fe3+ doped PZT ceramics due to the different mechanisms on the interaction of defect dipoles with spontaneous polarization or domain walls. Unpoled PZT-BF showed very low remnant polarization and low electric field induced strain. After poling, the remnant polarization and electric field induced strain increased markedly due to the alignment of defect dipoles.
