Field-induced percolation of polar nanoregions in relaxor ferroelectrics.
A first-principles-based effective Hamiltonian is used to investigate low-temperature properties of Ba(Zr,Ti)O(3) relaxor ferroelectrics under an increasing dc electric field. This system progressively develops an electric polarization that is highly nonlinear with the dc field. This development leads to a maximum of the static dielectric response at a critical field, E(th), and involves four d...
متن کاملAnisotropic nonlinear dielectric response of relaxor ferroelectrics
The anisotropy of the nonlinear static dielectric response of inorganic relaxor ferroelectrics of lead magnesium niobate PMN type is studied in the framework of the spherical random bond–random field model. Assuming that the shape of a polar nanoregion PNR and thus its dipole moment is modified by the action of homogeneous lattice strains, the anisotropic part of the interaction between the PNR...
متن کاملThe origin of ultrahigh piezoelectricity in relaxor-ferroelectric solid solution crystals
The discovery of ultrahigh piezoelectricity in relaxor-ferroelectric solid solution single crystals is a breakthrough in ferroelectric materials. A key signature of relaxor-ferroelectric solid solutions is the existence of polar nanoregions, a nanoscale inhomogeneity, that coexist with normal ferroelectric domains. Despite two decades of extensive studies, the contribution of polar nanoregions ...
متن کاملDynamics of Interacting Clusters and Dielectric Response in Relaxor Ferroelectrics
The dielectric response in relaxor ferroelectrics is analyzed in the framework a model for the polarization dynamics in the presence of polar clusters. We associate the origin of polar clusters with the atoms displaced from their centrosymmerical positions even above Tc. Their collective hopping in multi-well potentials induced by disorder is analogous with the situation in glasses. The theory ...
متن کاملRole of polar nanoregions with weak random fields in Pb-based perovskite ferroelectrics
In relaxor ferroelectrics, the role of randomly orientated polar nanoregions (PNRs) with weak random fields (RFs) is one of the most puzzling issues of materials science. The relaxation time of polarization fluctuations of PNRs, which manifests themselves as a central peak (CP) in inelastic light scattering, is the important physical quantity to understand the dynamics of PNRs. Here, the angula...
