Abstract
Robust resistivity against electrical cycling at not only ambient conditions but also enhanced temperatures is an essential requirement for high-end actuator applications. In this study, the temperature and electric field dependence of unipolar fatigue behaviors of CaZrO3-modfied (K, Na)NbO3 lead-free piezoceramics were investigated. The space charge accumulation during unipolar cycling is responsible for the build-up of internal bias field, the dynamics of which with respect to temperature and driving field can be described using a model based on Maxwell-Wagner relaxation process. Besides, clamping of domain walls can be inferred by comparing the large and small signal permittivity. Most intriguingly, the unipolar strain exhibits a fatigue-free behavior even at elevated temperatures, rendering the material exceptionally suitable for actuator applications.
