Abstract :
Diffraction provides an effective means to characterize ferroelectric materials under dynamic loading conditions. This paper describes a typical time-resolved diffraction setup and one example of a time-dependent strain response to an applied electric field in a piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT) ceramic.
