description

Dielectric permittivity of 0.8PMN-0.2PSN ceramic was measured in the frequency range from 20 Hz to 3 GHz. The typical ferroelectrics relaxor dielectric dispersion was observed. From the frequency dependence of complex dielectric permittivity, the distribution of relaxation times was calculated. The low frequency limit of the distribution of relaxation times diverges according to the Vogel–Fulcher law with the freezing temperature T f = 226 K which is lower than in PMN ceramics, obtained previously. The comparison of distributions of relaxation times between 0.8PMN-0.2PSN and pure PMN tends to the conclusion about smaller polar nano regions in 0.8PMN-0.2PSN ceramic.
