Domain wall excitations and their contributions to the weak-signal response of doped lead zirconate titanate ceramics
Abstract
The ac field dependence of the polarization and strain responses of three different compositions of doped lead zirconate titanate ceramics were measured for samples in both the poled and the depoled states. The results indicate that a reversible domain wall excitation exists which contributes to the weak-signal response of these materials. Irreversible domain wall motion can be excited within the frequency range measured by applying a field above a threshold field, which is much smaller than the coercive field. Therefore, the weak-signal linear dielectric, piezoelectric, and elastic coefficients of these materials may not provide a suitable description of their behavior when the external applied field exceeds this threshold field. All the observed phenomena can be explained by thermally activated domain wall fluctuations and nucleations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
