Effect of electrical and mechanical poling history on domain orientation and piezoelectric properties of soft and hard PZT ceramics

The superior piezoelectric properties of all polycrystalline ferroelectrics are based on the extent of non-180° domain wall motion under electrical and mechanical poling loads. To distinguish between 180° and non-180° domain wall motion in a soft-doped and a hard-doped lead zirconate titanate (PZT)...
