Abstract

A critical behavior of dielectric susceptibility has been discovered in relaxor ferroelectric 0.75Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.25PbTiO3. The real part of permittivity ε′ was found to follow the relation ε′ - εx = χ′ ∝ (T-T0)-2 at T>T0, and ε′ ∝ (Tc-T)-1 at T<Tc, where T0≈Tc<Tm; Tm is the temperature of the diffused ε′(T) maximum as is typical of relaxors; εx is the frequency-independent parameter, and x′ is the susceptibility depending on frequency via the "universal" relaxation law χ′ ∝ fn-1 The susceptibility χ′ is suggested to originate from the polarization of polar nanoclusters.
