Pseudo-stochastic multiple-pulse excitation in dielectric spectroscopy: application to a relaxor ferroelectric

2003

The nonlinear dielectric response of a lead titanate-doped lead magnesium niobate relaxor ferroelectric was studied using pseudo-stochastic binary electrical field excitation. The polarization was recorded for various pulse spacings and electrical field amplitudes. The decay of the field-polarization cross-correlation function could be accelerated by increasing the amplitude of the pulse fields. The extension of these experiments in order to record multidimensional dielectric spectra is illustrated.
