Abstract

In-site X-ray diffraction measurements under electric field up to 20kV/ cm were carried out on PLZT (x/70/30) with x=7.5, 8.0, 8.5, and 10.5 All of PLZT belonged to cubic phases. At x=7.5, 8.0 and 8.5 PLZT behaved as an antiferroelectric under low electric fields up to 4-8 kV/cm. PLZT became ferroelectric at the higher electric fields. The high-temperature measurements on the dielectric constants of PLZT with x=7.5, 8.0 and 8.5 showed that they were similar to relaxor ferroelectrics and underwent a diffuse phase transition from antiferroelectrics to paraelectrics at 50-7$0^{\circ}C$. Their P-E hysteresis curves confirmed that they were antifer-roelectrics. The broad distribution of Curie points suggests that there is a significant disorder of cations and vacances in the crystal structure of those PLZT due to La-substitution. The variation of the lattice strain of PLZT(10.5/70/30) with electic field was very small and did not show any hysteresis confirming that it was paraelectric. The degree of the electric-induced strain variation decreased as La doping increased. In PLZT(7.5/70/30) the intensity of 110 reflection changes sensitively by applying electric field. Some domains with polarization parallel to [110] appeared to be developed in the field-induced ferroelectric phase of the PLZT.

PLZT(x/70/30)의 x=7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 10.5 조성에 대하여 전계인가와 동시에 X-선 회절측정을 전계 20kV/cm에 이르기까지 수행하였다. 모든 PLZT는 입방상에 속하였다. x=7.5, 8.0, 8.5에서 PLZT는 4~8kV/cm의 낮은 전계에 이르기까지 반강유전적인 특성을 보였으며 보다 높은 전계에서는 강유전적인 특성을 나타내었다. 온도에 따른 유전상수의 측정에 따르면 x=7.5, 8.0, 8.5 조성에서 PLZT는 완화형 강유전체와 유사하였으며 50-7$0^{\circ}C$에서 확산적인 반강유전-상유전 상전이가 나타났다. 자발분극-전계(P-E) 이력곡선은 이들이 반강유전적인 특성을 가지고 있음을 보여주었다. 매우 넓은 큐리점의 분포는 이들 PLZT의 결정구조에서 La 치환에 의한 양이온 및 빈자리의 무질서도가 상당함을 시사한다. PLZT (10.5/70/30)의 전계에 따른 변형은 매우 미미하였으며 이력현상이 없는 상유전적인 특성을 보였다. 전계인가에 따른 변형률은 La 치환량이 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. PLZT(7.5/70/30)에서 110회절선의 강도는 전계인가에 민감하게 변화하여, [110] 방향에 평행한 자발분극을 가지는 분역이 전계인가로 유도된 PLZT의 강유전상에서 발달된 것처럼 여겨진다.
