Time dependence of domain structures in potassium sodium niobate-based piezoelectric ceramics

-based ceramics has barely been studied. Here, we synthesized Li-doped KNN ceramics. The morphologies and crystallographic parameters of the domain structures were characterized. Two ferroelectric domains, the 60°/120° and 180° domains, were identified in the ceramic. Surprisingly, the domain structure changed naturally as time passed, and most of the change occurred in the 180° domain wall, while the 60°/120° domains remained nearly unchanged. Our results are different from those of previous studies, which showed that the non-180° domain wall was more prone to movement than the 180° domain wall.
