摘要
We performed reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) modeling on neutron total scattering data and obtained an atomic structure consistent with the local and the average structures of the relaxor ferroelectric Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O-3. By analyzing the model structure from the RMC analysis, we found evidence for a significant off-centering of the lead ion that varied in magnitude and direction, leading to a partial ordering of polarizations over a few unit cells. We also estimated the static lattice distortion of the oxygen lattice from the bond-length distributions of atomic pairs.
