Abstract
Complex perovskite Pb(Mg1/2W1/2)O3 (PMW) is known to exhibit antiferroelectric behavior. In this work, two new solid solutions of (1-x)Pb(Mg1/2W1/2)O3- xPb(B′1/2W1/2)O3 (B = Zn2+ or Mn2+) of perovskite structure have been prepared by solid state reaction method. X-ray diffraction analysis indicates that when x ≤ 0.2, both systems crystallize in an orthorhombic (Pmcn) structure. As x increases, the perovskite structure becomes less stable and secondary phases start to form. Our results show that isovalent substitutions of Zn2+ and Mn 2+ for Mg2+ at high concentration resulted in different secondary phases. The structural stability of the perovskite phase and its influence on crystal symmetry are discussed.
