Abstract

ABSTRACTThe ferroelectric phase transition characteristics of the 0.32Pb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3-0.345Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.335PbTiO3 (0.32PIN-0.345PMN-0.335PT) single crystals were studied by the temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopy and some electrical properties. Ferroelectric monoclinic phase was confirmed at room temperature by the numbers of the Raman modes. Successive ferroelectric phase transitions, i.e. ferroelectric monoclinic phase to ferroelectric tetragonal phase transition (FEM-FET) and ferroelectric tetragonal phase to paraelectric cubic phase transition (FET-PC), are evidenced by the anomalies of Raman modes line width, peaks intensity and their ratios around TM-T and TC/Tm temperatures. The temperature dependent permittivity derivative ξ = dϵ/dT not only provides further evidence of the successive ferroelectric phase transitions, but also demonstrates the second-order transition characteristic of the FEM-FET phase transition and the first-order transition feature of the FET-PC phase transition. The FEM-FET phase transition is also confirmed by the abnormal narrowing of the P-E loops, decrease of the Pr and Ec values, and extremums of the pyroelectric performance.
