The ratio of PbTiOJPbZrO3 in LZT is 53/47, which is around morphotropic phase boundary （MPB）. LZT film is composed of cubic particles with the average size of 5 ~ma. Density of thin film is figured out through the datum measured in experiments. The displacement model used to analyze the driving ability of bimorph is set up, and the effect of elastic intermediate layer is taken into account. Piezoelectric coefficient of LZT film is worked out by using the displacement model. Experiments of driving ability show that deformation of bimorph free end does not increase with times of crystal growth processes and the maximum deformation is obtained after two times crystal growth processes. Finally, the ferroelectric property of the bimorph is investigated and coercive voltage of the bimorph is obtained.展开更多

We formulate a novel constitutive model for ferroelectric ceramics with electric fatigue induced by the two most important physical mechanisms, i.e. accumulation of point defects （or microcracking damage） and domain wall pinning. The local domain pinning effect is considered to be associated with the nonhomogeneous spatial distribution of positive and negative space charges. The proposed model can elucidate various experimental phenomena reported in the literature. It is found that the electric property of space charges has an essential effect on the asymmetry of strain hysteresis loops while point defects influence the change of remanent polarization and coercive field.展开更多
