description

Dielectric properties of Sr0.75Ba0.25Nb2O6 (SBN-75) ceramics in the range of low and infra-low frequencies are reported. The values of ϵ′ and, in particular of ϵ″, in ceramics are found to be much smaller compared with SBN-75 single crystals below the temperature (Тm) of the ϵ′(T) maximum a sharp increase of the values of dielectric parameters observed above Тm being also different from their thermal behaviour in single crystals. The broadening of phase transition and dependence of the response on sample history are similar to the features observed in other relaxor materials.
