Crystal chemical and dielectric properties of Pb0.5(5-x)LaxNb5-xFexO15system with “tetragonal tungsten bronze” structural type
The lanthanum-lead and iron-niobium coupled substitution in PbNb 2 O 6 have allowed to isolate new materials of a general formula Pb 0.5(5-x) La x Nb 5-x Fe x O 15 crystallising with the tetragonal tungsten bronze structural type. The resulting influence on the lattice parameters, the ferroelectric Curie temperature and Cole - Cole plots are presented. A typical ferroelectric - paraelectric behaviour occurs in the composition range 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.33 while, a relaxor behaviour is observed in the composition range 0.33 < x < 1.
Raman characterization of Pb2Na1−xLaxNb5−xFexO15 and Pb0.5(5−x)LaxNb5−xFexO15 (0≤x≤1) solid solutions
Abstract The ferroelectric compounds Pb 2 Na 1− x La x Nb 5− x Fe x O 15 and Pb 0.5(5− x ) La x Nb 5− x Fe x O 15 (0≤ x ≤1) with the tungsten bronze type structure have been investigated using Raman spectroscopy. The evolution of the spectra as a function of composition at room temperature is reported. In the frequency range 200–1000 cm −1 three main A 1 phonons around 240 ( υ 1 ), 630 ( υ 2 ) and 816 ( υ 3 ) cm −1 were observed. The broadening of the Raman lines for high values of x originates from a significant structural disorder. This is in good agreement with the relaxor character of these compositions. The lowest-frequency part of the spectra, below 180 cm −1 , reveals a structural ch…
