Niobium doped lead zirconate titanate (95/5 NbPZT) undergoes a hydrostatic pressure induced ferroelectric rhombohedral to antiferroelectric orthorhombic phase transformation (FE-AFE). This work reports on the experimental characterization of the large field dielectric response to unipolar electric field as it passes through the forward and reverse FE-AFE transformations. The poled ceramic was hydrostatically depoled by driving the FE-AFE phase transformation and stress-strain and stress-electric displacement responses were measured. After this initial characterization, specimens of 95/5 NbPZT were subjected to unipolar electric field loading at different hydrostatic pressure levels. Electric field was varied from zero to 1 MV/m at a series of fixed pressure levels between zero and 550 MPa. This resulted in minor hysteresis loops with the area inside the loops dependent on both pressure and electric field amplitude. Two different slopes were taken from the D-E loops, identified as the small field and large field slopes. Each changed with pressure and displayed distinct jumps at the forward and reverse FE-AFE phase transformations. The area within the loops in the ferroelectric regime, attributed to domain wall motion, increased as pressure was increased and dropped abruptly as the material passed through the pressure induced phase transformation.
