abstract = {Polarization reversal is the most fundamental physical
process in ferroelectrics and directly or indirectly
influences all functional properties of these materials.
While this process is influenced by various intrinsic
material’s properties and external boundary conditions,
arguably one of the most dominant parameters is the
material’s crystallographic structure. In this work, the
influence of the crystallographic structure on the
polarization reversal was investigated on the model
ferroelectric system Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 using simultaneous
time-dependent polarization and strain measurements. This
method enabled one to extend the understanding beyond the
widely investigated relationship between the structure and
coercive fields. Polarization reversal was described by
three regimes, which represent a sequence of well-defined
non-180° and 180° switching events. The crystallographic
structure was found to largely influence the mobility of the
non-180° domain walls during the first switching regime,
the amplitude of negative strain, and the broadness of the
transition between the first and the second switching
regimes, as well as the speed of the second (main) switching
regime. The observed changes could be related to the amount
of possible polarization directions, distribution of the
local electric fields, and strain mismatch at domain wall
junctions influenced by the lattice distortion. Moreover,
activation fields for the first and the second regimes were
experimentally determined for the investigated series of
Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 samples. Besides providing insight into
fundamental mechanisms of polarization reversal, these
results can also be used as input parameters for
micromechanical or stochastic models},
