In the present study, we report a nonergodic relaxor ferroelectric composition for high temperature piezoelectric applications, 0.57BiFeO(3)-0.21K(0.5)Bi(0.5)TiO(3)-0.22PbTiO(3), which exhibits T-m around 420 degrees C. By combining the results of in-situ synchrotron XRD and strain measurements using digital image correlation, a pseudocubic nonergodic relaxor to rhombohedral ferroelectric transformation is identified, accompanied by a volume strain close to zero. A methodology is developed to determine the crystallographic parameters of the transformed rhombohedral ferroelectric phase in a strain-free state, using the invariant intersection for diffraction stress analysis. The phase transformation process was analyzed by methods combining peak profile fitting and full pattern refinement: the results obtained illustrate the strain arising from the phase transformation, together with intrinsic/extrinsic contributions and anisotropy in the field-induced strain. The study reveals unusual microscopic strain behavior, distinguished from that of normal rhombohedral ferroelectrics, showing the combined properties of ergodic and normal ferroelectric materials and leading to a dominant intrinsic lattice strain together with a weaker extrinsic domain switching effect. The elastic coupling between different grain families is also reflected in their similar strain orientation distribution (SOD) functions.
