Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to elucidate the origin of the giant response in the relaxor ferroelectric PMN-xPT at Morphotorpic Phase Boundary, we have frozen the paraelectric state by rapid cooling and measured the structure of the frozen state by using high-flux X-rays at SPring-8. We found that the (330) Bragg peak in x=0.30, which splits in slow cooling in the rhombohedral phase below 400K, changes to diffuse scattering in rapid cooling, whereas the (400) Bragg peak in x=0.37 keeps its splitting in the same rapid cooling. Similar diffuse scattering has been observed for compositions x=0~0.2 which shows no long-range ferroelectric phase at low temperatures, indicating that the phase diagram of relaxor ferroelectrics depends on the cooling rate.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では急冷によりMPB組成の相転移を抑制することに成功した.相転移が抑制されたリラクサー強誘電体は応答が非常に幅広い温度に分布することから,巨大応答を幅広い温度で使えるデバイスに応用できる可能性がある.また本研究は,相転移速度が遅いリラクサー強誘電体では,ダイヤモンドのように,急冷により熱平衡では得られない準安定な強誘電体を取り出せる可能性を示しており,ガラス状態だけでなく,今後,圧力・電場等の外場下での急冷による通常では得られない機能性を持った強誘電相の開発へつながるものである.
