摘要:

钛酸铅(PbTiO 3)是铁电钙钛矿氧化物的经典实例,其示出了伴随着破坏模式的软化的位移相变。证明软模理论合理性的基本假设是,晶体在宏观上足够均匀,以便可以形成有意义的自由能函数。与PbTiO 3相比,实验研究表明,锆钛酸铅固溶体(PZT)的相变行为要微妙得多。大多数关于PZT系统的研究都致力于陶瓷或粉末样品,在这种情况下,不可能进行明确的软模式研究,因为具有不同对称性的模式一起出现。我们对富钛PZT单晶的拉曼散射研究表明,PZT中的相变不能用简单的软模理论来描述。与PbTiO 3形成强烈对比的是,横向E对称模的分裂揭示了存在不同的局部有序区域。晶体缺陷、Ti和Zr在B-阳离子位点的随机分布以及Pb离子偏离其理想位置的作用决定了相变机制。一个统计模型解释所观察到的峰分裂和相变到一个复杂的状态与空间变化的本地秩序附近的准同型相边界。

英文摘要:

Lead titanate (PbTiO3) is a classical example of a ferroelectric perovskite oxide illustrating a displacive phase transition accompanied by a softening of a symmetry-breaking mode. The underlying assumption justifying the soft-mode theory is that the crystal is macroscopically sufficiently uniform so that a meaningful free energy function can be formed. In contrast to PbTiO3, experimental studies show that the phase transition behaviour of lead-zirconate-titanate solid solution (PZT) is far more subtle. Most of the studies on the PZT system have been dedicated to ceramic or powder samples, in which case an unambiguous soft-mode study is not possible, as modes with different symmetries appear together. Our Raman scattering study on titanium-rich PZT single crystal shows that the phase transitions in PZT cannot be described by a simple soft-mode theory. In strong contrast to PbTiO3, splitting of transverse E-symmetry modes reveals that there are different locally-ordered regions. The role of crystal defects, random distribution of Ti and Zr at the B-cation site and Pb ions shifted away from their ideal positions, dictates the phase transition mechanism. A statistical model explaining the observed peak splitting and phase transformation to a complex state with spatially varying local order in the vicinity of the morphotropic phase boundary is given.
