Abstract:We have measured X-ray diffuse scattering (XDS) of a relaxor ferroelectric 0.7Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 – 0.3PbTiO3 single crystal under an electric field along [111] to investigate the electric field response of polar nanoregions (PNRs). Our ellipsoidal PNR model with a polarization along [110] and principal axes along [-110], [111], and [11-2] well reproduced observed three-dimensional XDS intensities around each Bragg reflection under the electric field at 300 K. The dimension of the ellipsoidal PNR is estimated to … Show more
