Abstract
A phase analysis in pseudobinary (1−x)Pb(F1/2Nb1/2)O3−xPb(Mg1/2W1/2)O3 system is conducted by measuring its dielectric properties, E‐P hysteresis, and dc resistivity at x = 0.1 interval. Lattice parameters and ordering of ions are analyzed by the x‐ray diffraction method, and the temperature‐composition phase diagram is determined. The system is found to form a solid solution of perovskite structure throughout the entire composition range, but the nature of its phase transitions changes from ferroelectric‐paraelectric for the composition range of 0.0⩽x⩽0.5 to antiferroelectric‐paraelectric for the composition range of 0.6⩽x⩽1.0. The ferroelectric‐paraelectric transition is relativity sharp for 0.0⩽x⩽0.1 and becomes diffuse for 0.2⩽x⩽0.5, and the antiferroelectric‐paraelectric is diffuse for 0.6⩽x⩽0.8 and becomes sharp for 0.9⩽x⩽1.0.
