Abstract
Stress dependence and scaling behavior of subcoercive field dynamic ferroelectric hysteresis were investigated in rhombohedral 0.5Pb(Zr1/2Ti1/2)O3–0.5Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3 (0.5PZT–0.5PZN) bulk ceramic with profound relaxor characteristics. The scaling relation of hysteresis area ⟨A⟩ against frequency f, field amplitude E0, and stress σ for the minor loops takes a form of ⟨A−Aσ=0⟩∝f−0.34E03.68σ0.35, which is very similar to that of soft and hard lead zirconate titanate ceramics with the same disrupted domains. This study suggests that the domain structures play a significant role in controlling the dynamic hysteresis behavior of ferroelectric materials.
