Abstract
The 3D dependences ɛ′(log f, T) and tanδ(logf, T) of a perfect BaTiO3 single crystal grown by the Remeika method have been studied in the ranges f = 1–2 × 107 Hz and T = −80–130°C. These dependences characterize a transition from the paraelectric phase (121.5°C) as a near-antiferroelectric transition followed by the transition to the tetragonal phase at ∼79.5°C. According to a number of signs, the range 121.5–79.5°C corresponds to a metastable phase typical of first-order phase transitions. The unexpected result of this work has been discussed with invoking the hypothesis on the BaTiO3 structure in the paraelectric phase, according to which it consists of three antiferroelectric states oriented along the crystallographic axes. Using the dielectric properties of BaTiO3 as an example, the method of direct correct determination of the temperatures of the structural transformations from the anomaly of tanδ(logf, T) has also been demonstrated.
