Breakdown of Lead Zirconate Titanate Ceramics Caused by the Application of Electric Field

Measurement of Flexoelectric Effect in Lead Zirconate Titanate Ceramics*

Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) ceramics is usually used as a piezoelectric material. However it has characteristics of not only piezoelectricity but also flexoelectricity. Piezoelectricity is a phenomenon that electric polarization is induced by strain, and flexoelectricity is the one that the polarization is induced by strain gradient. In this study, flexoelectricity in poled soft PZT ceramics ...

A. Response of Lead Zirconate Titanate Ceramics to Temperature Fluctuations

It has been found that some shapes of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) ceramics respond to rapid temperature fluctuations when mounted in a particular geometrical configuration. This effect is presumably caused by thermal stresses in the crystal which produce a voltage difference across the silvered surfaces. These units were originally constructed to serve as pressure transducers in a lowpressure...

Piezoelectricity in Lead-Zirconate-Titanate Ceramics – Extrinsic and Intrinsic Contributions

Piezoresponse imaging of lead zirconate titanate microfibers and numerical analysis of its electric field distribution

Piezoresponse imaging technique was transplanted from thin film to probe polarization domains and local properties in single electrospun lead zirconate titanate microfibers. The corresponding electric field distribution was numerically analyzed. The biased conic tip is found to produce a field that peaks on its apex and decreases rapidly toward the bottom metal electrode. A strong field exists ...
