Abstract
Polycrystalline samples of Pb(Mg1/4 Ni1/4 W1/2)O3 (PMNW) have been prepared by a conventional solid-state reaction. Preliminary room temperature X-ray study shows the formation of single-phase compound with cell parameters a = 9.8045 (28) Å, b = 13.1280 (28) Å and c = 14.42072 (28) Å. Dielectric anomaly and ferroelectric phase transition observed at 76°C was supported by our polarization study. The variation of dc resistivity of the material with temperature shows its semiconducting behaviour.
