Abstract

Using an interferometer the strain S of doped PZT ceramics in an applied field E is measured. When E is an alternating field, an asymmetrical piezoelectric loop is observed. The piezoelectric response has a fast component and a slow one. The response is nonlinear with a positive quadtic term, which is different from electrostriction effect. The stochastic and free relaxation effect are observed for a same sample.
