According to specialty general knowledge: piezoelectric ceramics just has piezoelectric property after having to pass through polarization.So-called polarization (Poling) is exactly to add a strong dc electric field on piezoelectric ceramics, makes the electricdomain in piezoelectric ceramics along direction of an electric field orientations, processes also known as artificial polarization, or poling processes.
Measuring technology shows with theory analysis, and the POLARIZATION MECHANISM of piezoelectric ceramics depends on its internal structure.Piezoelectric ceramics is irregularly " to be inlayed " by many little crystal grain to form.Each little crystal grain can be seen as a little monocrystalline, and its Atom (ion) is all the arrangement of regular (periodically), forms lattice, and lattice is made up of repetitive one by one i.e. structure cell again.Thus it is called polycrystal.Structure cell (T < TC) its positive and negative charge center at a certain temperature is misaligned, produces spontaneous polarization Ps, and polarised direction points to center of positive charge from center of negative charge.Crystal grain is the most identical with the lattice direction of crystal grain, in terms of entirety, is still confusion, random.In order to make piezoelectric ceramics be in energy (electrostatic energy and elastic energy) minimum state, arising that some zonules in crystal grain, in each zonule, structure cell spontaneous polarization has identical direction, but the spontaneous polarization direction between adjacent domain is the most different.Consistent region, spontaneous polarization direction is referred to as electricdomain, and monolithic ceramic includes many electricdomains.
The effect that artificial polarization processes, it is simply that the sufficiently high DC electric field that adds on piezoelectric ceramics, and keep certain temperature and time, force its electricdomain to turn to, force its spontaneous polarization to align in other words.
Before polarization, there is the electricdomain that many spontaneous polarization directions are different in each crystal grain, the polarization intensity in pottery is zero.When polarization processes, crystal grain can form single domain, and spontaneous polarization arranges along outer field direction as far as possible.After polarization processes, external electric field is zero, and due to internal restoring force (such as the release etc. of the internal stress that polarization produces) effect, each crystal grain spontaneous polarization can only be orientated by former external electric field direction to a certain extent, and the polarization intensity in pottery is no longer zero.This polarization intensity, referred to as remanent polarization.
As shown in the above description, polarization condition is only under polarized electric field effect, and electricdomain could be along direction of an electric field orientations, so it is the principal element in polarization condition.Polarized electric field is the highest, and the effect promoting electricdomain to arrange is the biggest, polarizes the most abundant.
