Abstract

Complex dielectric susceptibility (χ′ + jχ″) has been studied at f = 10-2-105 Hz in the relaxor ferroelectric 0.75Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.25PbTiO3. In addition to the well known relaxor dispersion observed at temperatures around and below the temperature of permittivity maximum Tm, a new and comparatively weak dispersion has been disclosed at T > Tm. It is described by the 'universal relaxation law', χ″ = cot(nπ/2)χ′ ∞ fn-1. The temperature dependence of the exponent n follows the Vogel-Fulcher relation, indicating a process of freezing into the nonergodic state.
