description

Abstract A ferroelectric relaxation has been identified in Li1-xCax (Ta1-xZrx)O3(x = 0.15 and 0.20) ceramics with LiTaO3-type structure. The relaxation frequency fr is minimum and the dispersion step (ϵ′S - ϵ′∞) is maximum at TC. When x increases, a higher conductivity associated with a lower activation energy and a decrease of the magnitude of fr at Tc are observed, while the unit cell volume becomes larger, TC lower and the transition more diffuse.
