Abstract

Abstract The effect of Sn:Ti variations on antiferroelectric to ferroelectric phase transition of (Pb0.97La0.02)(Zr0.65Sn0.35−xTix)O3 (x = 0.08–0.11) ceramics with compositions near antiferroelectric to ferroelectric morphotropic phase boundary was studied. X-ray diffraction showed that all samples were tetragonal phase at room temperature. With the increase of x from 0.08 to 0.1, all samples showed the typical antiferroelectric double loops. The critical value EAF of the electric-field induced antiferroelectric to ferroelectric phase transition decreased from 64 kV/cm to 38 kV/cm, and the electric field EFA of induced-ferroelectric to antiferroelectric phase transition decreased from 44 kV/cm to 10 kV/cm. A high polarization of the sample with x = 0.1 can be induced with a lower electric filed. The variations of Sn:Ti ratio had no effect on hysteresis of ΔE (=EAF − EFA), but ΔE reduced with temperature increasing. The virgin sample of which x = 0.11 was intrinsic antiferroelectric phase, but the remanent polarization of induced-ferroelectric phase remained after electric-field was removed at room temperature.
