Abstract

Quenched random fields (RFs) are widely believed to be at the origin of the peculiar behavior of relaxor ferroelectrics such as PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3 (PMN), SrxBa1-xNb2O6 (SBN), and BaTi1−x Zr x O3 (BTZ), hence, giving rise to strong frequency dispersion of the dielectric response, an apparent lack of macroscopic symmetry breaking at low temperatures, and the formation of polar nanoregions (PNRs) thus creating random ‘domain states’. A fundamental completion of relaxor physics toward a cluster glass ground state of the randomly interacting PNRs appears necessary as evidenced by dynamic criticality and non-ergodic aging and rejuvenation processes.
