Abstract

In situ observation of the electrically induced crack growth and domain-structure evolution is carried out for [100]- and [101]-oriented 72%Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–28% PbTiO3 (PMN–PT 72/28) ferroelectric single crystals under static (poling) and alternating electric fields. On the same poling electric field, domains are in the stable engineered domain state where four equivalent polarization variants coexist for [100]-oriented single crystal, while parallel lines representing the 71° domain boundaries appear for [101]-oriented one. Under the same cyclic electric field, the [100]-oriented single crystal shows much higher crack propagation resistance than that of a [101]-oriented crystal. Apart from the material aspects, such as crystallographic fracture anisotropy and non-180° domain boundary structure, crack boundary condition plays an important role in determining the crack propagation behavior.
