Far-infrared and THz spectroscopy of 0.4PMN–0.3PSN–0.3PZN relaxor ferroelectric ceramics

Abstract Temperature dependence of the optic phonons in 0.4PbMg 1/3 Nb 2/3 O 3 –0.3PbSc 1/2 Nb 1/2 O 3 –0.3PbZn 1/3 Nb 2/3 O 3 (0.4PMN–0.3PSN–0.3PZN) ceramics were studied by means of FTIR reflection and THz transmission spectroscopy in the temperature range of −253.15 to 226.85 °C. On heating from low temperatures, the A 1 component of the strongly split TO 1 mode softens towards the Burns temperature, but the softening ceases near 126.85 °C which could be a signature of polar cluster percolation temperature. Surprisingly, the TO 2 mode also softens on heating and follows the Cochran law with extrapolated critical temperature close to the melting point.

Infrared and broadband dielectric spectroscopy of PZN-PMN-PSN relaxor ferroelectrics: Origin of two-component relaxation

Dielectric spectra of several solid solutions of $\mathrm{Pb}{\mathrm{Mg}}_{1∕3}{\mathrm{Nb}}_{2∕3}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}\text{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{Pb}{\mathrm{Sc}}_{1∕2}{\mathrm{Nb}}_{1∕2}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}\text{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{Pb}{\mathrm{Zn}}_{1∕3}{\mathrm{Nb}}_{2∕3}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ (PMN-PSN-PZN) relaxor ferroelectrics were investigated in a broad frequency range from $20\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{Hz}$ up to $100\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{THz}$ by a combination of dielectric spectroscopy $(20\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{Hz}\char21{}53\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{GHz})$, time-domain terahertz spectroscopy $(0.1\char21{}0.9\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{TH…

Polar phonons in relaxor ferroelectric 0.2PSN-0.4PMN-0.4PZN

Relaxor ferroelectrics 0-2PbSc(1/2)Nb(1/2)O(3) - 0.4PbMg(1/3)Nb(2/3)O(3)-0.4PbZn(1/3)Nb(2/3)O(3) ceramics were studied by means of the Fourier transform infrared reflection and THz transmission spectroscopy in the temperature range of 20-500 K. On heating from low temperatures, the A(1) component of the strongly split TO1 mode softens towards the Burns temperature, but the softening ceases near 400 K, which could be a signature of polar cluster percolation temperature.
