The temperature-concentration dependences of the Raman spectra in the high-temperature region above the Burns temperature and the electron diffraction at room temperature were investigated in the (1 − x)Pb(Zn 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 -xPbTiO 3 mixed crystal system. It was found that in the concentration range below x = 0.8, the Raman active modes exist in the cubic phase and the intensities of the Raman lines in the cubic phase decrease with increasing temperature. A finite region where the Raman active modes are observed in the cubic phase was determined in the temperature-concentration phase diagram. On the other hand, no (1/2, 1/2, 1/2) superlattice diffraction was observed in the mixed crystal with the content above x = 0.2. The present result indicates that the Raman active modes in the high-temperature phase cannot be explained by the zone folding for the superstructure with the Fm3m symmetry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
