Abstract
The shape-memory effect has been investigated in ferroelectric-ferroelastic PLZT ceramic samples of composition 6.5/65/35 by bending and twisting experiments and temperature cycling. The effect of an electric field on the shape memory produced by bending is also examined. During the course of these experiments some additional evidence was also obtained for the existence of a region of microdomains (quasiferroelectricity) between the normal ferroelectric and paraelectric phases of the PLZT composition investigated.Keywords
