Abstract

A combinatorial material synthesis and characterization technique is introduced and demonstrated wherein the ferroelectric behavior of a compositionally graded bulk ceramic is investigated during electrical loading. Using combined high-energy x-ray microdiffraction and fluorescence spectroscopy, non-180°domain wall motion of different compositions is measured and quantified as a function of composition across the gradation. The greatest amount of non-180°domain wall motion is found in samples containing the highest measured fraction of La dopant (2 mol %). © 2008 American Institute of Physics.
