Abstract

We report a comparative Raman study of 0.65(PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3)-0.35(PbTiO3) (PMN-0.35PT) single crystal and thin film. Raman spectra investigation indicates a change in bulk from the high temperature cubic to the tetragonal phase and then to the low temperature Mc monoclinic phase. The transition temperatures are in good agreement with the ones previously observed by dielectric measurements on the same sample. In contrast, we observe no phase transition to the monoclinic phase in the PMN-0.35PT 4000 A thick film and only a cubic to tetragonal diffuse transition has been determined at high temperature. The enhanced stability of the tetragonal phase and the absence of low temperature monoclinic phase have been attributed to the in plane strain.
