Poling strategy of PLZT ceramics

Abstract
The best conditions of poling are reported for PLZT 8/65/35 and 12/40/60 ceramics. Selection of different poling parameters has been studied as well as their influence on aging. Results are in accordance with the classical concept of domain switching. Hot poling at 20 kV/cm and cooling from 100°C to room temperature in one hour was the most effective strategy tried.
