Abstract: Highlights: [•] Nd doped can improve the antiferroelectric stability of PLZST ceramics. [•] With the increase of Nd content, the strain of the ceramics enhanced. [•] The largest electric field-induced strain of 0.63% was obtained. [•] Large strain is beneficial for the development of transducers/actuators. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
