Abstract
The dc field dependence of dielectric permittivity in Pb(Sc1/2Ta1/2)O3 (PST) has been investigated near room temperature. The phase boundary on the temperature–field phase diagram in PST has been determined, where the ferroelectric critical endpoint (CEP) under the dc field applied along the [111]c direction (in the cubic coordinate) has been estimated to be between 20 and 25 °C. A high dielectric tunability of 92% in the field of 20 kV/cm along the [111]c direction has been obtained at 20 °C. The dielectric tunability above the critical temperature in the case of the first-order phase transition has been discussed on the basis of the Landau theory.
