Zr-Modified Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 with a Long-Range Cation Order
نویسندگان
چکیده
The 1:1 structural order and B-site cation order in Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 ceramics was significantly enhanced by Zr4+ substituting Nb5+ according to the chemical formula Pb(Mg1/ 3Zr2x/3Nb2(1−x)/3)O3−x/3. The enhanced structural and cation order was revealed by both X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The increased charge difference and the introduced oxygen vacancies were suggested to account for the observed long-range cation order. Typical relaxor ferroelectric behavior was retained even in the ceramics with a high degree of cation order.

Evolution of nanodomains during the electric-field-induced relaxor to normal ferroelectric phase transition in a Sc-doped Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 ceramic
Sc doping in Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 enhances the B-site 1:1 cation order significantly but promotes the ferroelectric polar order moderately. At low doping levels, the electrical polar domains remain at the nanometer scale and the relaxor ferroelectric behavior is preserved. A normal ferroelectric state can be triggered with electric fields from the relaxor state at lower temperatures. This electric-...

The atomic structure of ordered domains in Ba~Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 and La-doped and undoped Pb~Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 is studied by high-resolution Z-contrast imaging. The ordered domain structure in both doped and undoped Pb~Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 is determined to be in agreement with the charge balanced random-layer model and inconsistent with the space-charge model. It is shown that La doping in Pb~Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 enh...

متن کاملInfluence of Cation Order on the Dielectric Properties of Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-Pb(Sc1/2Nb1/2)O3 (PMN-PSN) Relaxor Ferroelectrics
The effect of the B-site cation chemistry and ordering on the dielectric properties of solid solutions in the (1-x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-Pb(Sc1/2Nb1/2)O3 (PMN-PSN) perovskite system was examined in samples with 0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.9. Thermal annealing treatments were effective in inducing long-range B-site order in the samples within this compositional range. The well-ordered, large chemical domain ceramics...

High temperature thermal treatments were used to modify the cation order in several tantalate and niobate members of the Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 (PMN) family of relaxors. The observation of complete 1:1 structural order in several compositions, and the refined cation occupancies of well-ordered samples conflict with the predictions of the “space charge” model, and support the “random site” description...
