Pyroelectric Charge Release in Rhombohedral PZT

Abstract

A new experimental set-up controlled by computer has been made to measure the pyroelectric charge of ferroelectric materials with a relatively high conductivity at slow rates of temperature variation. It allowed us to obtain the polarisation vs. temperature behaviour of PZT with various compositions in the whole range of temperatures with a high accuracy. The ferroelectric Zr-rich region of the PZT phase diagram, where the isostructural phase transition FRL-FRH takes place, has been studied
