Analysis of hysteretic behavior in a PBZTS ceramics by a Preisach distribution

This paper presents a new way of using the classical Preisach distribution to the analytical description of the behavior of ceramic ferroelectrics in a wide range of temperatures. The iteration method have been used to investigate the Preisach distribution from polarization-electric field hysteresis loops to observe the composition and temperature variation of the some parameters in lead barium zirconate titanate stannate ceramic samples. Received Preisach distributions from P-E hysteresis loops were modeled by selected analytical functions to find useful parameters to observing the evolution of the hysteresis loops with temperature. This type of analysis can allow a more complete understanding of the relaxor properties occurring in these kind of materials, and may be used to examination the changes of temperature changes of piezoelectric sensors.
