The nonlinear dependence of the dielectric permittivity on electric field ε (E) is modeled by
the relationship ε (E)= ε 00+ 1/(α+ β E eff 2), where E eff= E+ κ P (E). Using an appropriate …

Creep and relaxation of domain walls under ac electric fields are observed in an ideal model
system, periodically poled KTiOPO 4, to occur in different regimes, which are separated by …

The contribution of non-180 domain wall displacement to the frequency dependence of the
longitudinal piezoelectric coefficient has been determined experimentally in lead zirconate …
