Investigation of polarization switching in (001)(c), (110)(c), and (111)(c) oriented Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O-3-4.5%PbTiO3 crystals. Journal of Applied Physics, 95(10), 5671-5678. doi: 10.1063/1.16995000021-8979http://hdl.handle.net/10919/52440The dynamics of polarization switching have been investigated over extremely broad time (10(-8)<t<10(2) s) and field ranges for (001)(c), (110)(c), and (111)(c)-oriented Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O-3-4.5%PbTiO3 crystals. The results demonstrate the presence of broad relaxation time distributions that can extend over a decade(s) in orders of magnitude in time, and which sharpen significantly with increasing field. The polarization transients have been fit to stretched exponential functions, which are typical of disordered systems.
