Abstract

A tudy was conducted to demonstrate structural evidence for strong coupling between polarization rotation and lattice strain in monoclinic relaxor ferroelectrics. The monoclinic structure of Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 (PMN-PT) ceramics were determined by both profile analysis and structural refinement. The reliable determination of the crystal structure of PMN-PT was performed by the full-profile Rietveld refinement. The results show that the monoclinic (Cm) phase gives the best agreement between the observed and calculated profiles.
