In-situ observation of the fatigue crack growth and 90o domain switching was carried out for BaTiO3 ferroelectric single crystals under alternating electric field. It is shown that during the electric cycling, the crack propagates continuously. Parallel lines of 90o domain boundaries can be seen and they flip at each reversal of the alternating electric field. The width of the 90o domain switching zone grows with the number of cycles and its frontal always lies ahead of the crack tip. It is suggested that the cyclic stress field induced by the repeated 90o domain switching at the crack tip, as well as the stress field caused by the electrically activated material between the electrode and the material under the electrodes contribute to the observed fatigue crack growth.

In situ observation of the electrically induced crack growth and domain-structure evolution is carried out for [100]- and [101]-oriented 72%Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–28% PbTiO3 (PMN–PT 72/28) ferroelectric single crystals under static (poling) and alternating electric fields. On the same poling electric field, domains are in the stable engineered domain state where four equivalent polarization variants coexist for [100]-oriented single crystal, while parallel lines representing the 71° domain boundaries appear for [101]-oriented one. Under the same cyclic electric field, the [100]-oriented single crystal shows much higher crack propagation resistance than that of a [101]-oriented crystal. Apart from the material aspects, such as crystallographic fracture anisotropy and non-180° domain boundary structure, crack boundary condition plays an important role in determining the crack propagation behavior.
