Relaxor ferroelectrics were discovered almost 50 years ago among the complex oxides with perovskite structure. In recent years this field of research has experienced a revival of interest. In this paper we review the progress achieved. We consider the crystal structure including quenched compositional disorder and polar nanoregions (PNR), the phase transitions including compositional order-disorder transition, transition to nonergodic (probably spherical cluster glass) state and to ferroelectric phase. We discuss the lattice dynamics and the peculiar (especially dielectric) relaxation in relaxors. Modern theoretical models for the mechanisms of PNR formation and freezing into nonergodic glassy state are also presented.

Recent progress in relaxor ferroelectrics with perovskite structure

After twenty years of partly quiet and ten years of partly enthusiastic research into lead-free piezoceramics there are now clear prospects for transfer into applications in some areas. This mimics prior research into eliminating lead from other technologies that resulted in restricted lead use in batteries and dwindling use in other applications. A figure of merit analysis for key devices is presented and used to contrast lead-containing and lead-free piezoceramics. A number of existing applications emerge, where the usage of lead-free piezoceramics may be envisaged in the near future. A sufficient transition period to ensure reliability, however, is required. The use of lead-free piezoceramics for demanding applications with high reliability, displacements and frequency as well as a wide temperature range appears to remain in the distant future. New devices are outlined, where the figure of merit suggests skipping lead-containing piezoceramics altogether. Suggestions for the next pertinent research requirements are provided.

Transferring lead-free piezoelectric ceramics into application

Due to the nature of domains, ferroics, including ferromagnetic, ferroelectric, and ferroelastic materials, exhibit hysteresis phenomena with respect to external driving fields (magnetic field, electric field, or stress). In principle, every ferroic material has its own hysteresis loop, like a fingerprint, which contains information related to its properties and structures. For ferroelectrics, many characteristic parameters, such as coercive field, spontaneous, and remnant polarizations can be directly extracted from the hysteresis loops. Furthermore, many impact factors, including the effect of materials (grain size and grain boundary, phase and phase boundary, doping, anisotropy, thickness), aging (with and without poling), and measurement conditions (applied field amplitude, fatigue, frequency, temperature, stress), can affect the hysteretic behaviors of the ferroelectrics. In this feature article, we will first give the background of the ferroic materials and multiferroics, with an emphasis on ferroelectrics. Then it is followed by an introduction of the characterizing techniques for the loops, including the polarization–electric field loops and strain–electric field curves. A caution is made to avoid misinterpretation of the loops due to the existence of conductivity. Based on their morphologic features, the hysteresis loops are categorized to four groups and the corresponding material usages are introduced. The impact factors on the hysteresis loops are discussed based on recent developments in ferroelectric and related materials. It is suggested that decoding the fingerprint of loops in ferroelectrics is feasible and the comprehension of the material properties and structures through the hysteresis loops is established.

Decoding the Fingerprint of Ferroelectric Loops: Comprehension of the Material Properties and Structures

Rietveld neutron powder profile analysis of the compound Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (NBT) is reported over the temperature range 5–873 K. The sequence of phase transitions from the high-temperature prototypic cubic structure (above 813 K), to one of tetragonal (673–773 K) and then rhombohedral structures (5–528 K) has been established. Coexisting tetragonal/cubic (773–813 K) and rhombohedral/tetragonal (with an upper temperature limit of 145 K between 528 and 673 K) phases have also been observed. Refinements have revealed that the rhombohedral phase, space group R3c, with aH = 5.4887 (2), cH = 13.5048 (8) A, V = 352.33 (3) A3, Z = 6 and Dx = 5.99 Mg m−3, exhibits an antiphase, a−a−a− oxygen tilt system, ω = 8.24 (4)°, with parallel cation displacements at room temperature. The tetragonal phase, space group P4bm, with aT = 5.5179 (2), cT = 3.9073 (2) A, V = 118.96 (1) A3, Z = 2 and Dx = 5.91 Mg m−3, possesses an unusual combination of in-phase, a0a0c+ oxygen octahedra tilts, ω = 3.06 (2)°, and antiparallel cation displacements along the polar axis. General trends of cation displacements and the various deviations of the octahedral network from the prototypic cubic perovskite structure have been established and their systematic behaviour with temperature is reported. An investigation of phase transition behaviour using second harmonic generation (SHG) to establish the centrosymmetric or non-centrosymmetric nature of the various phases is also reported.

Investigation of the structure and phase transitions in the novel A-site substituted distorted perovskite compound Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3

A nanocomposite of porous glass and a NaNO(2) ferroelectric (channels of approximately 7 nm diameter) was studied using infrared reflectivity, THz transmission and Raman spectroscopy as a function of temperature in the range of 300-500 K, including the ferroelectric transition. From the infrared and THz response the effective dielectric function was calculated and compared with the dielectric functions calculated from the Bruggeman and Lichtenecker models of the effective medium, using the known data on the polar phonon modes of the NaNO(2) single crystals. The results show good qualitative agreement, indicating that the stiffening of the effective modes is due to local depolarization fields on the glass-ferroelectric interfaces. The nonpolar Raman modes show no substantial modification compared to those of the bulk NaNO(2). Some signatures of the ferroelectric transition were even seen. The results indicate that the intrinsic size effect (phonon confinement) is negligible in this nanocomposite.

This paper presents the results of X-ray diffraction studies on a single crystal of lead zirconate titanate PbZr0.993Ti0.007O3 in the region of existence of an intermediate ferroelectric phase. In addition to the known superstructure reflections of the M type qM = $$\left\{ {\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2},0} \right\}$$
 and the first-order satellite reflections qM + {δ, δ, δ}, unknown second-order satellites have been observed near qM and near the Bragg reflections. Structural model of regular system of antiphase domains is used for diffraction calculation. The model is shown to describe the first- and second-orders satellite reflections in the vicinity of qM, but it cannot explain the appearance of satellites around the main Bragg peaks. A possible origin of the system of the superstructures observed in the intermediate phase is discussed.

Neutron diffraction studies performed on the solid solution of (BiFeO(3))(1-x)(PbTiO(3))(x) reveal a mixture of two nanoscale phases with different crystal structures: a rhombohedral BiFeO(3)-based phase and a tetragonal PbTiO3-based phase. The ratio of Fe(3)+ and Ti(4)+ ions in the two phases is practically constant; only the proportion of the phases changes. The magnetic moments in the BiFeO(3)-based phase, in contrast to BiFeO(3), deviate from the basal plane. The temperature evolutions of the spin components along the hexagonal axis and within the perpendicular plane are different, leading to a spin re-orientation transition. The antiferromagnetic order in the PbTiO(3)-based phase corresponds to a simple structure with the propagation vector (1/2, 1/2, 1/2). The temperature dependence of the antiferromagnetic moment in the tetragonal phase at x = 0.5 indicates a canted antiferromagnetic order and a net ferromagnetic moment. A strong magnetic coupling between the two constituting phases due to the nanoscale character of the phases and well-developed interface between nanoparticles has been observed. The system of (BiFeO(3))(1-x)(PbTiO(3))(x) demonstrates an interesting scenario, where the proximity effects in the unstable system play a crucial role in the appearance of the unusual magnetic properties.

We present here the results of the study of the true paraelectric phase of PMN via neutron inelastic and quasielastic scattering Inelastic data for two different Brillouin Zones were treated simultaneously in terms of the 2-mode approach for the lowest TO mode We have confirmed that 2-mode description allows removing the contradictions between the temperature dependences of the soft-mode frequency and the dielectric susceptibility existing in the single mode model The diffuse scattering was mapped in three Brillouin zones and substantial anisotropy of the 2-d intensity distribution was found that was not reported before Treatment of data in terms of Huang scattering produced satisfactory description of the experimental data It is shown that broad satellite peaks close to the main Bragg reflections in our case can be described in terms of instrumental resolution
