Abstract
Ultrasonic pulse-echo measurements are used to determine the changes in c11E, c33D, c44D, c44E, and c12E through the reversible ferroelectric—antiferroelectric phase transition in a Pb(Ti, Zr, Sn)O3 ceramic. The results indicate that after the transition is enforced by hydrostatic pressure the material loses both electrical and mechanical orientation and becomes elastically isotropic.
