Abstract
KTa1−xNbxO3 crystals exhibit excellent piezoelectric, ferroelectric, and electro-optical properties near the phase transition point, owing to the evolution of polar nanoregions (PNRs). This paper discusses the physical properties of the PNRs in three characteristic temperature ranges and analyzes the dielectric relaxation properties of the crystals. The effects of different heating rates and initial temperatures on the pyroelectric effect are discussed, and the influence of small electric fields on increasing the pyroelectric coefficient is investigated. The polarization characteristics of the crystal were obtained according to the change in the pyroelectric performance, and the influence of different conditions on the dynamic response of the PNRs was analyzed. It is proposed that the evolution of PNRs, induced by external coupling with an internal electric field, significantly affects macroscopic performance.
