Abstract

High energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction, in situ with electric field, was carried out on the morphotropic phase boundary composition of the piezoelectric alloy PbTiO3-BiScO3. We demonstrate a strong correlation between ferroelectric-ferroelastic domain reorientation, lattice strain and phase transformation. We also show the occurrence of the three phenomena and persistence of their correlation in the weak field regime.
