Abstract

This letter focuses on understanding the influences of antiferroelectric–ferroelectric (AFE–FE) phase transition on the ferroelectric electron emission process. The piezoelectric constant and electron emission current of un-prepoled PZT 96.5/3.5 ceramics as a function of emission times were studied. The hysteresis loops of PZT 96.5/3.5 ceramics before and after the electron emission process were presented. The results show that emission currents obtained from PZT 96.5/3.5 ferroelectrics in different phase states were similar. It was difficult to explain the experiment results using the fast AFE–FE phase transition model. Electron emission from PZT 96.5/3.5 ferroelectrics was independent of the AFE–FE phase transition.
