Ferroelectric domain structure of Pb(Zr /sub 52/Ti /sub 48/)O/sub 3/

OSTI ID:6647342

Ferroelectric domains are twins that are formed when PZT undergoes a phase transformation from a non-ferroelectric cubic phase to a ferroelectric tetragonal phase upon cooling below approx. 375/sup 0/C. The tetragonal phase is spontaneously polarized in the direction of c-axis, making each twin a ferroelectric domain.
