摘要
Activated critical dynamics and vanishing of the susceptibility ratio alpha (3)=chi (3)/chi (4)(1)-->0 in the zero-frequency limit unequivocally evidence the phase transitions of the uniaxial relaxor crystals SBN, SBN: Ce and SBN: Cr to refer to the three-dimensional random-field Ising universality class. The relaxor-like freezing of polar nanoregions within the precursor regime is successfully described within the framework of the mesoscopic uniaxial spherical random-bond random-field model.
