Abstract
Ceramic powders of a [Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3]0.6·[Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3]0.2·[PbTiO3]0.2 system (with Nb replaced by Ta) were prepared via solid-state reaction routes. The structures developed in the B-site precursor and perovskite systems are discussed. Weak-field low-frequency dielectric characteristics as well as the polarization behavior of the perovskite ceramics are presented. The relaxation modes of the dielectric constant spectra are analyzed in terms of diffuseness parameters. A very high maximum dielectric constant of 37 900 (@1 kHz) was obtained when 1/4 of Nb was replaced by Ta. Internal microstructures of the sintered samples are also reported.
