Abstract
Simulation of the chemical fluctuation regions in PMN-like relaxors through growth of the PbxNbyOz eramics was performed. Different PbxNbyOz clusters (chemically and structurally) coexist in such ceramics. Hole polaron and bipolaron (Cr3+-two polaronic-hole) paramagnetic complexes were considered for explanation of the EPR spectra in PbxNbyOz ceramics. Dynamical averaging, light-induced effects, and significant effects of reduction treatment giving the coexistence of Nb5+ and Nb3+ ions, as well as of a strong internal magnetic field, were discovered in this ceramics. The latter could be related to antiferromagnetic phase realization in PbxNbyOz clusters containing a sufficiently high concentration of magnetic Nb3+ host lattice ions. Such a situation leads to antiferromagnetic resonance on Nb3+ ions, as well as to EPR of Cr3+-related paramagnetic complexes in a Nb3+-induced internal magnetic field. Charge transfer vibronic excitons (CTVE) in free and in CTVE phase states were detected in PbxNbyOz ceramics by photoluminescence studies.
