Abstract

The first determination of the phase diagram of the novel ferroelectric relaxor xBi(Zn2/3 Nb1/3)O3-BaTiO3 (BZN-BT) with combined high resolution X-ray and neutron up to the miscibility limit near x(BZN) = 20.0% over a temperature range 20 K < T < 400 K. Combined X-ray and neutron data shows instability within the xBZN-(1-x)BT system reaches a maximum at x = 3.9% and is driven by B-site displacement and distortion of the oxygen octahedra in the polar phases Composition-dependant effects include a narrow Amm2-dominated region focused at x = 3.9%, significant convergence of the lattice parameters in both P4mm and Amm2 phases and a sharp maxima in d33 and Psat. Lattice parameter dilation at x ≥ 4.0% was observed for both P4mm and Amm2 unit cells, alongside the first appearance of Pm-3m at 295 K and the onset of significant dielectric relaxation. Low-temperature neutron diffraction indicated a weak or absent temperature dependence on the transition between ferroelectric at x = 3.9% to ferroelectric relaxor at x = 4.0%. Temperature-dependant phase transitions were eliminated near x = 3.0%, with the ferroelectric limit observed at x = 5.0% and transition to a low-loss relaxor dielectric near x = 8.0%.
