Abstract
The relaxor ferroelectric (RFE) behavior in high-energy electron-irradiated poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFE)] 80/20 mol % copolymer system is characterized over a broad frequency and temperature range. The dielectric properties remarkably vary with the irradiated dose in terms of the change from normal ferroelectric (FE) to RFE phase. During the RFE–paraelectric (PE) transition, the dielectric constants, as a function of temperature, can be described by the Vogel–Fulcher (V–F) relation. It has been found that the relationship between the real and imaginary part of dielectric constant in irradiated copolymer can be well fitted with modified Cole–Cole equation and Debye relaxation equation, exhibiting similar features as inorganic RFEs. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
