摘要：

Contributions to the piezoelectric response of (1 - x) Ba(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O-3-x(Ba0.7Ca0.3)TiO3 ceramics are quantified by small signal measurements made as functions of bias field and temperature. The highest fraction of intrinsic contributions is observed far from phase boundaries, of extrinsic contributions around phase boundaries, and of irreversible switching in the orthorhombic phase. The largest piezoelectric response, d(33) = 475 +/- 85 pC/N, is found near the orthorhombic to tetragonal phase boundary due to both reversible and irreversible switching. A peak in reversible switching above the Curie temperature for all compositions suggests a line of critical points associated with first order phase transitions, indicating that concurrence of triple and tricritical points in the zero-field phase diagram is not the responsible mechanism of enhanced piezoelectricity.
