description

The nonlinear dielectric response of epitaxial thin films of relaxor ferroelectric PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3 was experimentally studied using digital Fourier analysis. Change from glass-like to ferroelectric behavior was detected in a broad temperature range, at relatively low ac and/or dc electric fields, and at a time scale of seconds. The presence of interfaces and peculiar microstructure of thin films are suggested to determine such a specific behavior.
