Abstract
Concentration phase transitions and structural disordering in the system of solid solutions LixNa1−xTa0.1Nb0.9O3 (x = 0–0.16) are investigated by the methods of Raman scattering, x–ray structural analysis, and electrophysical measurements. Points of disruption of the translational order in the arrangement of cations at x = 0.05–0.06, 0.09, 0.11, 0.135, and 0.14 that correspond to the boundaries of morphotropic regions and concentration structural anomalies are detected. At points x = 0.11; 0.135, and 0.14, the Raman spectrum in the region of vibrations of the cations located in octahedral and cubooctahedral holes (0–400 cm−1) consists of two wide maxima and is practically smeared into the wing of the Rayleigh line, and on the concentration dependences of the electrophysical properties one observes sharp anomalies. The oxygen ochahedrons are distorted less significantly as x changes: the corresponding lines broaden, and new lines demonstrating a symmetry change of the oxygen octahedrons appear only for x ≥ 0.14. It is shown that the system of solid solutions LixNa1−xTa0.1Nb0.9O3 for x < 0.015 is characterized by the antiferroelectric type of dipole ordering, and for x ≥ 0.015 the structure of a solid solution becomes noncentrosymmetric.
