Abstract

The polarization reversal process in a rhombohedral ferroelectric ceramic material was investigated using field-induced strain measurements and texture development. Special attention was focused on the difference in the field-induced strains between the first quarter cycle and subsequent loading conditions. Results show that the initial field-induced strain is about twelve times greater than the subsequent strain, which immediately suggests that mechanisms involved in these conditions during the polarization reversal process are different. The difference in the magnitude of field-induced strain is discussed in terms of 180° and non-180° domain reorientation processes.
