Uniaxial compressive stress was applied during fatigue process of soft lead zirconate titanate piezoelectric ceramics and their fatigue resistance was improved when the stress was larger than 20MPa. Before fatigue, compressive stress had a strong depolarization effect and restricted domains switching behavior under large electric field and domain walls motion under small electric field. However, in a partially fatigued state, while domains switching behavior was still restricted by compressive stress, domain walls motion was enhanced. Removal of the applied stress after partial fatigue induced the remnant polarization restored significantly.

Abstract Piezoelectricity is strongly dependent on the preferred domain orientation. A fiber-like texture of a Navy VI Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) piezoelectric ceramic can be induced by electric poling. This texture can be further changed and strengthened by cross-poling, that is, applying a strong electrical field perpendicular to the original poling direction. In this paper we show preferred domain orientation changes and anisotropy transitions associated with poling and cross-poling in PZT piezoelectric ceramic. The poling and cross-poling induced textures can be explained by three-dimensional orientation dependent domain switching. Based on this discussion, we demonstrate that it is possible to tailor the preferred domain orientation distribution and improve anisotropic properties of piezoelectric ceramics by directional control of the 90° domain switching using cross-poling.
