Description

Temperature-dependent ferroelectric dynamic hysteresis properties of modified Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PMN-PZT) ceramics have been investigated in a wide range from 298 to 433 K. Interestingly, it was found that back-switching polarization Pbc increased while the hysteresis area left angle A right angle, coercive field Ec, saturation polarization Ps, and remnant polarization Pr all decreased linearly with temperature below 398 K (close to the macro-micro domain transition temperature Tnr). A set of simple linear temperature scaling relations was established, which is different from the power-law scaling relations for soft and hard PZT ceramics. At further increased temperature, double-loop features appeared and the ferroelectric properties varied nonlinearly due to the reversible macro-micro domain transition in the T > Tnr region.
