Abstract
Crystals of Pb1 − x BaxSc0.5Nb0.5O3 solid solutions with 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.58 have been grown by the method of mass crystallization from flux. It is established that, unlike the concentration dependence of the corresponding ceramic, the concentration dependence of the temperature T m (the maximum dielectric constant ε in crystals) does not attain saturation. Cooling of crystals with x ≤ 0.04 resulted in a spontaneous transition from the relaxor to the macrodomain ferroelectric state. In crystals with a higher barium content, the relaxor state is “locked in.”
