Abstract
The dependence of the dielectric permittivity of ferroelectric materials on electric field magnitude impacts the performance of ferroelectric devices. In a ferroelectric generator, a shock wave travels through the ferroelectric element and depolarizes it, and surface charges are released from the element electrodes, resulting in the generation of a megawatt power level for several microseconds. The dielectric properties of the compressed and uncompressed zones of the ferroelectric element affect the generated voltage and energy. The results of previous studies indicate that the low-field dielectric permittivity of poled Pb0.99(Zr0.95Ti0.05)0.98Nb0.02O3 (PZT 95/5) ferroelectrics in the uncompressed zone differs significantly from the high-field permittivity. Herein, the results are presented from the experimental investigation of the high-field permittivity of poled uncompressed PZT 95/5 ferroelectric ceramics and films, PZT 52/48 ferroelectric ceramics, and rhombohedral 0.27Pb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3-0.47Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.26PbTiO3 (0.27PIN-PMN-0.26PT) and 0.68Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.32PbTiO3 (0.68PMN-0.32PT) ferroelectric single crystals. The dependences of the permittivity on the electric field were determined using a pulsed electric field ranging from 0.1 to 10 kV/mm. The data indicate that the application of a pulsed high electric field results in a fourfold increase in the relative permittivity of PZT 95/5 ceramics and films over the small signal value (from 300 to 1200), and a threefold increase in the permittivity of single-domain [111]c cut and poled 0.27PIN-PMN-0.26PT crystals (from 700 to 2100), while a high electric field does not have a significant impact on the permittivity of PZT 52/48 ceramics or 0.27PIN-PMN-0.26PT and 0.68PMN-0.32PT crystals cut and poled in the domain engineered [001]c or [011]c direction.
