Abstract
A recent series of experiments relate visible-light scattering in PLZT ceramics to both electric field and ferroelectric polarization as the polarization is switched through the hysteresis loop. Scattering measurements made before and after storing a photoinduced space charge field in PLZT yield new significant information about the effects of the space charge field on domain switching. The experimental results provide an important basis for a better understanding of the role of the space charge field in photoferroelectric image storage.
