Abstract

AbstractCeramic samples of a pseudo‐binary system Pb(Mg1/2W1/2)O3‐Pb(Fe2/3W1/3)O3 (PMW‐PFW) were prepared by solid‐state reaction. In addition, their compositions were modified by 20 mol% Pb(Zn1/2W1/2)O3 (PZW) doping in order to investigate the role of zinc in the perovskite formation and dielectric properties. The perovskite contents were ≥95.1% at the overall composition range, except for a significantly low value of 79.0% at 0.8PFW‐0.2PZW. The extension of sintering time for PMW accelerated superstructure formation, resulting in the ordering factor increased up to 0.40 after 12 hours heat treatment. The maximum dielectric constant values increased with increasing PFW fractions. In comparison, the phase transition temperatures decreased sharply (by up to 161°C) at low concentrations of PFW, followed by mild changes (by up to 47°C) afterward. The dielectric constant spectra were analyzed in terms of diffuseness characteristics, which reflected the phase transition modes quite well.
