Abstract

Scaling behaviour of sub-coercive field dynamic ferroelectric hysteresis under the influence of stress was investigated in rhombohedral 0.7PZT–0.3PZN bulk ceramic. The scaling relation of hysteresis area ⟨A⟩ against frequency f, field amplitude E0 and stress σ for the minor loops takes the form of , which is very similar to that of soft and hard PZT ceramics. However, slightly faster responses to f and E0 indicate the ease of polarization orientation in this simpler domain structure ceramic as compared with commercial PZT ceramics. This study suggests that the domain structures play a significant role in controlling dynamic hysteresis behaviour of ferroelectric materials.
