I. Elharrad et al., RAMAN-SCATTERING INVESTIGATION WITH TEMPERATURE OF THE PHASE-TRANSITIONS IN (PB0.825BA0.175)ZRO3 AND (PB0.65BA0.35)ZRO3 CERAMICS, Vibrational spectroscopy, 10(2), 1996, pp. 301-309
Raman scattering investigations of lead-barium zirconate are presented
for two barium concentrations, as a function of temperature from 10 t
o 450 K. An order-disorder phase transition is observed at 130 K for t
he low barium concentration, for which an antiferroelectric-ferroelect
ric phase transition is equally observed at 308 K and a ferroelectric-
paraelectric one at 433 K. The ceramic containing a high barium concen
tration is in a ferroelectric state up to 403 K, above this temperatur
e begins the paraelectric phase of the material. The order parameters
of the two types of transitions, order-disorder and antiferroelectric-
ferroelectric, are evaluated.
