Fig. 5

a–d Ideal models of dipoles ordering configurations in PbZrO3 and PLZST system. Arrows with left and right orientations represent the dipoles. The polarization value of FE segments in PLZST system is based on the quantitative data in Fig. 4. The ΔPs refers to the net polarization of two adjacent FE segments (in unit of μC cm−2). e, f Hysteresis loops, modulation period (NIMS), remanent polarization (Pr, μC cm−2), dielectric constant (εRT) and forward switching field (EAF, kV cm−1) of PLZST system. The inset in (e) shows the energy storage density (Ws, J cm−3), recoverable energy density (Wr, J cm−3) and energy efficiency (η) values.
