contents Sub-coercive field non-linearities in $0.5(\text{Ba}_{0.7}\text{Ca}_{0.3}\text{TiO}_{3})-0.5(\text{BaZr}_{0.2}\text{Ti}_{0.8}\text{O}_{3})$ (BCTZ 50/50) thin film elaborated using pulsed laser deposition are studied using permittivity and phase angle of the third harmonic measurements as function of the AC measuring field $E_{\mathit{AC}}$ and temperature. The global phase transition temperature $T_{\mathit{max}}$ for which the permittivity is maximum, decreases from 330 K to 260 K when $E_{\mathit{AC}}$ increases. Rayleigh analysis of the AC field dependence of the relative permittivity shows a regular decrease of the domain wall motion contributions as temperature increases up to $T_{\mathit{max}}$ and an even more pronounced decrease above $T_{\mathit{max}}$. This measurement reveals that the ferroelectric behavior subsists 70 K above the global phase transition. The phase angle of the third harmonic at temperatures below 275 K, is characteristic of a conventional ferroelectric and from 275 K to $T_{\mathit{max}}=$ 330 K of a relaxor. Above $T_{\mathit{max}}$, the thin film exhibits a peculiar phase angle of the third harmonic, which consists of ${-180}°\rightarrow {-225}°\rightarrow {+45}° \rightarrow {0}°$ instead of the ${-180}°\rightarrow {-90}° \rightarrow {0}°$ found for relaxor. This peculiar behavior is observed only on heating, and is tentatively attributed to changes in the correlations between polar nanoregions.
