N. Cereceda et al., SPECIFIC-HEAT, CHARGE RELEASE AND DIELECTRIC-CONSTANT OF PZT CERAMICS, Journal of the Korean Physical Society, 32, 1998, pp. 241-243
Dielectric constant, specific heat and charge release measurements hav
e been performed to study the F-RL-F-RH and F-RH-P-C phase transitions
in Zr rich PZT (PbZr1-xTixO3). Both transitions have been described t
ogether by means of a two order parameters effective field model, in o
rder to include the effects of cation shifts (related to polarization)
and the tilt of the oxygen octahedra. The behavior of the physical pr
operties is shown to be described consistently.
