Abstract
In this letter, the reversible and irreversible polarization contributions in donor-doped Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 are investigated using conventional capacitance -voltage (C-V) and hysteresis measurements. The dependence of the Rayleigh coefficient in the subcoercive regime on the doping concentration is invest igated and shown to be consistent with the assumption of an interaction of the domain walls with randomly distributed defects.
