Title: Determination of 60° polarization nanodomains in a relaxor-based ferroelectric single crystal

Abstract

We report a determination of monoclinic nanodomains in PMN-xPT with x = 31%PT by using scanning convergent beam electron diffraction (SCBED). We show the presence of 60 ± α degree nanodomains with Cm-like symmetry as well as significant variations (α) in local polarization directions across lengths of ~10 nm. The principle of our technique is general and can be applied for the determination of polarization domains in other ferroelectric materials of different symmetry.

Symmetry of piezoelectric (1–x)Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃-xPbTiO₃ (x=0.31) single crystal at different length scales in the morphotropic phase boundary region

Journal Article Kim, Kyou-Hyun ; Payne, David A. ; Zuo, Jian-Min - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

We use probes of three different length scales to examine symmetry of (1–x)Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃-xPbTiO₃ (PMN-xPT) single crystals in the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) region at composition x = 0.31 (PMN-31% PT). On the macroscopic scale, x-ray diffraction (XRD) shows a mixture of strong and weak diffraction peaks of different widths. The closest match to XRD peak data is made with monoclinic Pm (M_C) symmetry. On the local scale of a few nanometers, convergent beam electron diffraction (CBED) studies, with a 1.6-nm electron probe, reveal no obvious symmetry. These CBED experimental patterns can be approximately matched with simulations based on monoclinic symmetry,more »« less

Nanoscale symmetry fluctuations in ferroelectric barium titanate, BaTiO ₃

Journal Article Shao, Yu-Tsun ; Zuo, Jian-Min - Acta Crystallographica. Section B, Structural Science, Crystal Engineering and Materials (Online)

Crystal charge density is a ground-state electronic property. In ferroelectrics, charge is strongly influenced by lattice andvice versa, leading to a range of interesting temperature-dependent physical properties. However, experimental determination of charge in ferroelectrics is challenging because of the formation of ferroelectric domains. Demonstrated here is the scanning convergent-beam electron diffraction (SCBED) technique that can be simultaneously used for imaging ferroelectric domains and identifying crystal symmetry and its fluctuations. Results from SCBED confirm the acentric tetragonal, orthorhombic and rhombohedral symmetry for the ferroelectric phases of BaTiO₃. However, the symmetry is not homogeneous; regions of a few tens of nanometres retainingmore »« less

Nanoscopic Study of the Polarization-Strain Coupling in Relaxor Ferroelectric and the Search for New Relaxor Materials for Transducer and Optical Applications

Technical Report Toulouse, J

SUMMARY Relaxor ferroelectrics exhibit a very unusual polarization behavior from which derive unique electrostrictive, piezoelectric and other properties. This behavior and these properties are due to the presence of nanoscale structural and polar order, the polar nanoregions (PNR), which can easily reorient under very modest external electric field, in stark contrast with conventional ferroelectrics. Moreover, when these nanoregions are aligned, their local distortions add up coherently to a macroscopic strain, hence their remarkable electrostrictive and piezoelectric properties. Initially, we demonstrated this effect in KTa1-xNbxO3 (KTN) and were able to identify the local internal symmetry of the PNR in KTN andmore »« less

Journal Article Matsuura, M ; Hirota, K ; Gehring, P M ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

We have used neutron diffraction to characterize the diffuse scattering in five single crystals of the relaxor ferroelectric (1-x)Pb(Mg{sub 1/3}Nb{sub 2/3})O{sub 3}-xPbTiO{sub 3} (PMN-xPT) with x=0, 10, 20, 30, and 40%. The addition of ferroelectric PbTiO{sub 3} modifies the well-known 'butterfly' and 'ellipsoidal' diffuse scattering patterns observed in pure PMN (x=0), which are believed to be associated with the presence of randomly oriented polar nanoregions. In particular, the anisotropy of the diffuse scattering diminishes as the PT content increases. The spatial correlation length {xi} along the [110] direction derived from the width of the diffuse scattering at room temperature increasesmore »« less
