Abstract

A dielectric and ultrasonic velocity study of antiferrodistortive and ferroelectric phase transitions in Sr1−xAxTiO3 (A=Ba, Pb) is reported. It is shown that both phase transitions co-exist at x<0.03 but at the higher concentration the ferroelectric phase transition entirely suppresses the antiferrodistortive phase transition. The experimentally obtained phase diagrams are discussed in the framework of the Landau phenomenological theory.
