ABSTRACT: It is vital to understand the characteristics of piezoelectric ceramics at high electric fields to use them
effectively. The effects of applied electric fields such as applied electric and poling fields on the electrical characteristics
of a (Ba, Ca)(Ti, Zr portable power station)O3
or BCZT ceramic system were investigated in this research. A solid-state reaction process was
used to make the BCZT ceramic. There was no impurity in the sample, which had a mixed phase of rhombohedral,
tetragonal, and orthorhombic phases. A high degree of dielectric tunability was found under the applied electric fields.
Large improvements in polarization prosperities were reported with non-linear relationships with the applied electric
fields. The ferroelectric data matched with the electric field-induced strain behavior data, while the field-induced strain
behavior data revealed a near-linear relationship with the field. There was also a significant reduction in the degree
of strain hysteresis. In addition, the poling field had a significant impact on the d33 and g33 values. The piezoelectric
coefficients discovered in this study suggest that this material has promise for use in piezoelectric and energy harvesting
devices.
