Abstract

We have determined the fatigue induced damage zone underneath the electrodes in bulk lead zirconate titanate ceramics by polishing off the fatigued electrodes. The results show that removal of material to different depths from the electrode yields different degrees of recovery of device properties depending on the cycle number. The results suggest that fatigue behavior is related to the diffusion of silver electrode, microcracks and trapped charge defects in the damage zones.
