Abstract

Long-time polarization relaxation in the temperature range where PBSN-6 single crystals reside in the relaxor state was studied. An analysis of the time dependence of the permittivity ε′(t) performed at measuring frequencies from 1 Hz to 1 kHz in weak electric fields E 0 showed that the relaxation (or freezing) times derived by extrapolating relations of the type ε′(t) ∼ log(t/t 0) and ε′(t) ∼ exp{−[ln(t/t 0)]β} range from 108 to 1011 min and depend substantially on the bias voltage applied to the sample. A study of the pattern of the dielectric response in moderate and strong infralow-frequency fields revealed that, after a sample was maintained under a bias lower than the coercive force, it no longer exhibited the additional anomalies in the amplitude dependences of the effective loss tangent taneff(E 0) than were observed in a thermally recuperated sample.
