摘要
The Landau free energy expansion as a function of three-dimensional polarization for perovskite relaxor ferroelectrics is examined to find effects of large electric fields in causing transitions from one ferroelectric state to another. Our examination of field-induced effects includes a fourth order expansion to obtain the Landau parameters for the observed temperature-and field-induced rhombohedral (R) -> tetragonal (T) transitions in an (001)-cut 0.70Pb(Mg(1/3)Mn(2/3))O(3)-0.30PbTiO(3) (PMN-30%PT) crystal. These parameters enabled us to predict the appearance of an orthorhombic (O) phase in (110)-cut PMN-30% PT crystals under an applied field. These results show that also for field-induced effects, the Landau expansion shows qualitative agreement with experiment for relaxor ferroelectrics.
