Properties of the barium titanate submicron powder pressure-treated under 4 GPa were studied by techniques of differential scanning calorimetry, inelastic light scattering, second harmonic generation, and dielectric measurements. It was found that the pressure-treated powder of this classical ferroelectric mimics a number of the experimental properties which are known for the relaxor ferroelectrics. This means that some interesting relaxor-like features can be reproduced in the simple systems without the compositional disorder.
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.
