description

Abstract The dielectric, elastic and electromechanical properties, electrocaloric effect and thermal expansion of poled and depoled Pb0.99Nb0.02(Zr0.75Sn0.20Ti0.05)O3 samples are presented to evaluate the nature of polar phases existing in the solid solution above room temperature. The Kittel's free energy expansion is used to explain some essential features of physical properties.
