X-Ray Diffuse Scattering Study on Ionic-Pair Displacement Correlations in Relaxor Lead Magnesium Niobate
Abstract
Ionic-pair equal-time displacement correlations in relaxor lead magnesium niobate, Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3, have been investigated at room temperature in terms of an x-ray diffuse scattering technique. Functions of the distinct correlations have been determined quantitatively. The results show the significantly strong rhombohedral-polar correlations regarding Pb-O, Mg/Nb-O, and O-O' pairs. Their spatial distribution forms an ellipse or a sphere with the radii of 30-80. This observation of local structure in the system proves precursory presence of the polar microregions in the paraelectric state which leads to the dielectric dispersion.
