Local Atomic Structure of Plzt Determined by Real-Space Refinement of Neutron-Powder-Diffraction Data
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 February 2011
Abstract
The local atomic structure of (Pb1-x Lax)( Zry Ti1.y)1.x/4O3 (PLZT) has been examined by means of pair-distribution function (PDF) analysis derived from neutron powder diffraction. We find that atoms are displaced from the atomic sites in the average periodic structure by a significant amount. The directions and magnitudes of the atomic displacements in PLZT are very similar to those found in Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 (PMN). The short- and intermediate-range structural changes between ferroelectric, relaxor and antiferroelectric PLZT phases were compared.
