Abstract

Abstract: Due to the atomic-level centrosymmetric spontaneous polarization, antiferroelectric materials exhibit a sensitively nonlinear capacitive response to plural physic fields (mainly electric field and temperature) in a certain range, consequently leading to some superb material properties, e.g., ripple suppression, electrocaloric cooling, and dielectric energy storage. However, there are many cognitive blanks about how this exotic multi-field relation ε(E_DC, T) is influenced and manipulated via microscopic structures in the antiferroelectrics. In this work, the classic antiferroelectric ceramics PLZT were selected to see this intelligent effect, based on a quad-parameterized ε(E_DC) relation on the dependence of T. ε relations were studied under different material compositions, temperature, frequency, AC electric field, and DC electric field, revealing lattice/domain structure evolution and the underlying mechanism. The inherent phase stability, introduced random field, and hierarchical hysteresis states were found to co-dominate this multi-field nonlinear relation. This work would not only contribute to future progress in the current applications (ripple suppression/electrocaloric cooling/dielectric energy storage) but imply the possibility of co-sensing temperature and electric potential simply and smartly.
