Abstract

This paper reports on the results of investigations into the influence of Schottky regions formed in the vicinity of crystallite boundaries in polycrystalline ferroelectrics on their permittivity. The dependence of the dielectric properties of the Schottky regions on the orientation of the spontaneous polarization in the adjacent region of the crystallite is taken into consideration. It is demonstrated that nonmonotonic dependences of the permittivity and its relative change on the crystallite size under uniaxial compression are associated with the presence of the domain structure in polycrystalline ferroelectrics.
