Dynamic scaling hysteresis behavior and field-induced domain transition of 0.16PIN-0.62PMN-0.22 PT single crystals.

Due to the good dielectric, piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties, the pseudo-ternary ferroelectric single crystals Pb(In 1/2 Nb 1/2)O 3 -Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3)O 3 -PbTiO 3 (PIN-PMN-PT) have been widely concerned and studied. In this study we found that the dynamic hysteresis loop area <A> with electric field E 0 and frequency f 0 of the 0.16 Pb(In 1/2 Nb 1/2)O 3 -0.62 Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3)O 3 -0.22PbTiO 3 (0.16PIN-0.62PMN-0.22 PT) single crystals satisfies the relational equation <A> ∝ E 0 βf 0 α. In the <A> ∝ E 0 β relationship, both linear stages are found correlated with the low electric field in the first stage E 0 <E c and the high electric field in the third stage E 0 > 3E c. The hysteresis loop area <A> with frequency f 0 relationship satisfies the equation <A> ∝ f 0 α with roughly linear trend and the hysteresis loop area <A> decreases with increasing frequency f 0. Such electric field dependent dynamic hysteresis scaling can be observed by polarized light microscopy. Image 1 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
