Abstract
A comprehensive investigation into the dynamic hysteresis behavior of the low temperature sintered 0.4PZN–0.6PZT ceramics across a wide range of electric field frequency, and temperature was carried out in the present study. Our findings from the electric field and frequency dependent scaling analysis at 303 K revealed distinct domain dynamics having three stages of polarization reversal mechanism with a breakdown frequency (fb) of 5 Hz. Temperature dependent scaling analysis till 503 K showcased the influence of thermal energy especially in the stage-I and stage-II of the polarization reversal mechanism resulting in enhanced domain wall mobility with reduced switching time at a lower electric field. The power-law temperature scaling relations for hysteresis area 〈A〉, remanent polarization (Pr), and coercivity (EC) took the form of A ∝ T0.1468, Pr ∝ T−0.5577, and EC ∝ T−0.68272, respectively. The decay of the derived exponent values with temperature corresponding to 〈A〉, Pr, and EC was minimal as compared to the other reported soft PZT and lead-free systems. This study provided information on the influence of temperature toward domain wall motion, domain nucleation, and domain switching, and it will be useful for designing devices that demand high reliability and thermal stability.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Ceramic Society contains records of original research that provide insight into or describe the science of ceramic and glass materials and composites based on ceramics and glasses. These papers include reports on discovery, characterization, and analysis of new inorganic, non-metallic materials; synthesis methods; phase relationships; processing approaches; microstructure-property relationships; and functionalities. Of great interest are works that support understanding founded on fundamental principles using experimental, theoretical, or computational methods or combinations of those approaches. All the published papers must be of enduring value and relevant to the science of ceramics and glasses or composites based on those materials.
Papers on fundamental ceramic and glass science are welcome including those in the following areas:
Enabling materials for grand challenges[...]
Materials design, selection, synthesis and processing methods[...]
Characterization of compositions, structures, defects, and properties along with new methods [...]
Mechanisms, Theory, Modeling, and Simulation[...]
JACerS accepts submissions of full-length Articles reporting original research, in-depth Feature Articles, Reviews of the state-of-the-art with compelling analysis, and Rapid Communications which are short papers with sufficient novelty or impact to justify swift publication.
