Abstract

We have studied temperature- and electric-field-induced phase transitions in ceramic samples of Pb1 − x La x [Zr0.7Sn0.2Ti0.1]1 − x /4O3 (0 < x ≤ 0.03) solid solutions. The results indicate that La3+ doping to x > 0.005 impedes long-range dipole-dipole interactions and stabilizes nonpolar phases below the Curie temperature. At a constant La3+ concentration, lowering the temperature facilitates a field-induced transition to a ferroelectric state. In thermally depoled samples, the first antiferroelectric → ferroelectric switching usually requires a higher bias voltage than do subsequent switchings.
