Abstract
The internal friction and shear modulus of a barium sodium niobate crystal were studied using the torsion pendulum technique at a frequency of ∼25 Hz in the temperature range from 80 to 800 K. An internal friction relaxation peak of the domain nature was observed at 228 K. A relaxation process responsible for this internal friction peak is explained through compensation of the electric charge (induced by a piezoelectric effect at the 180° domain walls) by charged point defects diffusing toward the domain walls.
