Unconventional domain band structure at the crack tip in ferroelectric ceramics
TLDR
In this article, the authors have shown that the domain band structure in front of an indentation crack under lateral electric loading is unconventional, attributed to the highly localizing crack tip electric field.About:

Toughening under non-uniform ferro-elastic domain switching
Yuanqing Cui,Wei Yang +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an evolution law for the volume fraction of the switched portion under applied electromechanical loading is established from the minimum energy principle, and a switching model capable of dealing with the non-uniform distribution of switching strain is developed.

In situ observation of electric-field-induced domain switching and crack propagation in poled PMNT62/38 single crystals
Yejian Jiang,Daining Fang +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors in situ observed the crack propagation and the domain switching in PMNT62/38 single crystals poled along the [001] orientation, and the results indicated that the structure mismatch of the adjacent switched zones with different polarizations stimulated by the intensive electric field near the crack tip results in the electric-field-induced crack growth.
