Abstract :
Undoped Pb[ZrxTi1-x]O3 (PZT) ceramics from the tetragonal and rhombohedral side of the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) were examined. Temperature dependent changes in domain configuration were observed by in situ hot-stage transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In corresponding macroscopic ex situ strain measurements an enhanced influence of the electric field was detected after annealing.
