A transmission electron microscopy study of ferroelectric domains in a modified lead zirconate titanate ceramic

Year: 1993

Type: article

Abstract: Microstructures of a modified PZT piezoelectric ceramic Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 ) A (Mn 1/3 Nb 2/3 ) B Zr C Ti D O 3 with A = 0.059, B = 0.066, C = 0.459 and D = 0.416 were investigated using transmission electron microscopy. Labyrinthic domain configurations were observed. In situ observations during heating were carried out in an electron microscope. The effect of electron beam irradiation on the ferroelectric-to-paraelectric phase transition was studied. An essentially one-dimensional array of microdomains and a vein configuration of microdomains were observed in the modified PZT piezoelectric ceramic specimen.
