Abstract

The microwave dielectric dispersion process was investigated in relaxor and normal ferroelectric compositions of Pb1−xLaxTiO3 ceramics. The results revealed the following remarkable features: (i) the mechanism responsible for the microwave dielectric dispersion process in perovskite ferroelectric systems may be associated to the vibration of the boundaries of polar regions, independently of their size and dynamical properties; (ii) the characteristic frequency, fR, is governed by the ratio between the force constant and the effective mass of such boundaries; (iii) the temperature dependence of fR above the temperature of the maximum of the dielectric permittivity directly reflects the ferroelectric-type phase transition.
