Abstract: The influence of an electric field on phase transitions in PZT solid-solution single crystals with low lead titanate concentration has been studied. It is shown that during cooling under an electric field exceeding a threshold value, the transition from the intermediate phase to the antiferroelectric (AFE) phase occurs via three consecutive stages. The possibility of forming an oriented AFE domain structure has been confirmed.

Keywords: antiferroelectrics, phase transitions, antiphase domains, lead zirconate titanate (PZT), X-ray diffraction.
