The presence of oxygen vacancy forms a defect-dipole inside a perovskite cell. This defect-dipole contributes to the unswitchable polarization and influences the alignment of the ferroelectric dipole in the same cell as well. The latter is due to the displacement of the B-site cation, which contributes to the switchable polarization. It is found that a double hysteresis emerges when the alignment of defect-dipole conforms with the crystal orientation, which is perpendicular to the measured polarization. Moreover, the optimal electromechanical property can be obtained by careful adjustment of c-domain volume fraction and the alignment of defect dipoles. Monte Carlo simulation based on the four-state Potts model is presented. Calculation results are compared with experiments. | Keywords: | Electromechanical effects Ferroelectric ceramics Lead compounds Monte Carlo methods Oxygen Potts model |
