Dielectric constant and loss factor were investigated as a function of temp
erature for different frequencies of the measuring field for the (Pb0.75Ba0
.25) (Zr0.70Ti0.30)O-3 ceramics. Additional measurements of the pyroelectri
c and thermally stimulated depolarization currents were carried out. The re
sults obtained show distinct correlation. They also prove that these cerami
cs show properties of relaxor ferroelectrics. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Lim
