Unusual crystal structure evolution, multiple phase boundaries and phase coexistence in (1 −x)Ba(Cu_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃-(x)PbTiO₃perovskite solid solution

Abstract

Exploring the functionalities of materials requires a profound understanding of the crystal structure. In this paper, room temperature crystal structures of a new solid solution (1-x)Ba(Cu1/3Nb2/3)O3-(x)PbTiO3 have been investigated in...

Chemical composition-induced evolution of the structure, domain and electrical properties of Sm-doped (1 − x)Pb(Ni1/3Nb2/3)O3–xPbTiO3

“…9 However, there are numerous relaxor-PbTiO 3 solid solutions, and the composition ranges from relatively simple to extremely complex. For example, there are binary, ternary, and quaternary relaxor-PbTiO 3 solid solutions, 10–21 and new compositions are continuously arising. In order to further optimize the properties of the relaxor-PbTiO 3 family, it is necessary to analyze the composition–property relationship.…”

“…The crystal structure, domain configuration and domain switching, as well as the electrical properties of PMN-PT have been intensively investigated. 9,10,22,23 However, those of PNN-PT have not well studied yet as compared with its PMN-PT counterpart; even investigations on the domain and composition of PNN-PT are lacking, although a few studies have focused on its crystal structure and electrical properties. 24–28 Therefore, it is interesting and necessary to gain a comprehensive knowledge of the crystal structure, domain and electrical properties of PNN-PT binary solid solution to provide basic concepts for further work on PNN-PT-based ternary and quaternary solid solutions.…”
