The influence of uniaxial pressure (0-800 bars) applied parallel to the ac electric field on the dielectric properties of La−modified lead–zirconate−titanate ceramics with the Zr/Ti ratio of 65/35 was investigated. Applying uniaxial pressure leads to the reduction of the peak intensity of the electric permittivity (ϵ), of the frequency dispersion as well as of the dielectric hysteresis. The peak intensity of ϵ becomes diffuse and shifts with increasing the pressure. Our results show that applying uniaxial pressure induces similar effects as increasing the Ti−ion concentration in PZT system. We interpreted our results based on domain switching processes under the action of combined electromechanical loading. These studies clearly showed that the applied stress has a significant influence on the dielectric properties of perovskite ceramics.
