Abstract
(1–x)PMN–xPT[PMN, Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3; PT, PbTiO3] system ferroelectric ceramics with x = 0.30, 0.33, 0.35, and 0.38 were synthesized by the columbite precursor method. Their structure and dielectric behavior were investigated. X-ray diffraction results demonstrate that no two-phase region is presented, but a quasi-cubic to tetragonal phase boundary lies between x = 0.30 and 0.33. Examination of the dielectric behavior reveals that the transformation from relaxor to normal ferroelectric behavior across the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) is successive and continuous. It is suggested that x 4 0.30 to 0.33 is the composition of MPB for the PMN–PT system. The MPB is also a boundary for the PMN–PT system to transform from relaxor to normal ferroelectrics.Keywords
