Abstract
Chemical ordering of the B-site cations in undoped, 5, 10, 20, and 30 mol % La3+-doped Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 (PMN) ceramics with perovskite structure, has been examined by Raman scattering. Two B-site chemical ordering models, the space-charge model, and the random layer model assume a space group of Fm3̄m for the ordered nanoregions. It is found that A1g Raman mode around 780 cm−1 from the B-site ordered nanoregions with a space group Fm3̄m, is very sensitive to the delicate changes of the chemical order at B site. Frequency changes of this A1g characteristic mode with La3+ doping, are analyzed according to the lattice parameters and chemical order effects. The present results provide stronge evidence supporting the random layer model in La-doped PMN.
