Abstract

The domain structure fundamentally determines the piezoelectric/ferroelectric performance of ferroelectric materials. To understand the correlation between macro-properties and microstructure, the evolution of domain structure should be clearly figured out. Here, the diffraction-plane-transformation (DPT) model is proposed for the domain evaluation in BS-PT piezoelectric ceramics of rhombohedral crystalline structure. The transformation between different crystal planes is accurately revealed by the DPT model. Then, non-180° domain reversal in rhombohedral 0.4BiScO3-0.6PbTiO3 piezoelectric ceramics (abbreviated as BS-PT) can be quantitatively estimated, whether in electric poling or thermal depoling processes. Experimentally, the correlations between piezoelectric coefficients, electromechanical coupling properties, and non-180° domain reversal percentage are investigated. It is proven that the DPT model provides an effective method for the non-180° domain estimation in rhombohedral crystalline ceramics.
