Temperature dependence of remanent polarization PR, coercive field EC, and relative permittivity ɛr of a PIC 153 type PZT sample. On the one hand, the Curie temperature was determined as the local maximum of the relative permittivity at [T_{\varepsilon_{\rm{r}}}] = 429 K, which is lower than the reported value of TC,lit ≃ 438 K. On the other hand, the residual signal of the measurement setup was determined for PR and the drop below this limit is associated with the phase transition ([T_{P_{\rm R}}] = 427 K). The room temperature values for PR and EC were extrapolated (orange) as 23.4 µC cm−2 and 0.65 MV m−1, respectively. Two further phase transitions are visible at ∼375 K and ∼412 K. The temperatures marked with blue asterisks were used for the hysteresis plot in Fig. 12[link].
