The time dependences after poling of the mechanical quality factor $Q_{\text{m}}$, electromechanical coupling coefficient $k_{31}$ and dielectric constant $K$ have been investigated for both "soft" and "hard" lead zirconate titanate (PZT) ceramics. A significant increase of $Q_{\text{m}}$ with time was observed for "hard" PZTs, however "soft" ones did not exhibit any changes during the same time period. The initial $Q_{\text{m}}$ value of rare earth modified Pb(Zr,Ti)O3–Pb(Sb,Mn)O3 was only 400 at 10 min after poling; however, at $t=2800$ min after poling, it had increased to 1600. Correspondingly, a pronounced increase in $E_{\text{int}}$ was observed with $\ln t$. The aging rate after poling was found related to the degree of "hard" characteristics. For $10<t<2800$ min after poling, the value of $Q_{\text{m}}$ for Yb modified Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 increased from 160 to 250, whereas for Yb modified Pb(Zr,Ti)O3–Pb(Sb,Mn)O3 $Q_{\text{m}}$ increased from 400 to 1600 during the same time period. Polarization–electric field ($P$–$E$) measurements revealed the development of a shift of the response along the E axes with time. It is believed that an internal dipolar field develops with time, due to a reorientation of defect dipoles along the direction of spontaneous polarization. This results in domain stabilization and increased $Q_{\text{m}}$. It is proposed that internal dipolar field is the high power origin for "hard" type PZTs.
