Abstract

Lead zirconium titanates(PZT) are ferroelectric materials of considerable current interest because their potential for applications in memory devices and electrooptics has drawn the attention of industry. The performance of the devices made of PZT largely depends on the behaviors of ferroelectric domains and domain boundaries. TEM has been proved to be a very powerful tool in the study of ferroelectric domains and domain boundaries in ferroelectric materials. It is suggested that around the domain boundaries in BaTiO3 there is a distribution of lattice distortion and strain field. However, few references have been found on the study of ferroelectric domains and domain boundaries in PZT materials by TEM.
