Sv. Titov et al., Features of the structure and ferroelectric properties of the solid solutions of lead titanate with rare-earth metals, TECH PHYS L, 26(9), 2000, pp. 799-802
A secondary periodicity in variation of the properties of ferroelectric sol
id solutions of lead titanate with rare-earth metals is established. It is
demonstrated that this behavior is related both to the modifying cations be
longing to two natural subgroups and to the energetic features of their 4f
levels. The extrema of the structural and ferroelectric characteristics cor
respond to the domains of electron instability. (C) 2000 MAIK "Nauka/Interp
