Abstract
Piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) was employed to investigate ferroelectric domain structures and their dynamic behavior of lead magnesium niobate–lead titanate [Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–xPbTiO3 (PMN–PT)] transparent ceramics under an tip-bias-induced electric field. A remarkable effect of fluctuation of PT content on the domain configurations and domain dynamic response in PMN–PT transparent ferroelectric ceramics were found by PFM. Comparing with PMN–10%PT and PMN–20%PT, the reversed polarization of macrodomain area in PMN–35%PT and PMN–25%PT exhibits a relatively higher response behavior and better polarization retention performance under the PFM tip-bias-induced electric field, which correspond to their unique macroscopic electro-optic properties.
