Abstract

A crossover as a function of temperature is found in the zero-field aging properties of the relaxor ferroelectric Pb(Mg(1/3)Nb(2/3))O3. Below a temperature near which nonlinear susceptibility has indicated a suspected phase transition, the time-frequency dependence shows simple scale-independent behavior resembling that for spin glasses. As in spin glasses, high temperature aging is stable as further aging occurs at lower temperature, but not vice versa, indicating hierarchical state arrangement. A more general interpretation of such effects is briefly discussed.
