Abstract:
The recently discovered large flexoelectricity in relaxor ferroelectrics has rekindled considerable research interest. In this paper, several Sm-doped Pb(Mg2/3Nb1/3)O-3-xPbTiO(3) (PMN-xPT) ferroelectric ceramics were prepared and the relationship between flexoelectricity and PT content was systematically investigated. The largest flexoelectric response (similar to 550 mu C/m) was observed in the Sm-doped PMN-32PT ceramic, which should be accounted for in the reorientation of the polar nanoregions. At room temperature, the flexoelectric response of Sm-doped PMN-32PT ceramic is an order of magnitude higher than that of the parent PMN-PT ceramics and even 50% higher than that of Bi-PMN-32PT ceramic (similar to 300 mu C/m). Such a big increment is directly related to the greater local structural heterogeneity caused by Sm3+ ions into PMN-PT. Therefore, the result presented in this paper verifies that introducing local structural heterogeneity is a feasible approach to achieve ultrahigh flexoelectricity.
