Abstract

A possible anomaly in the temperature dependence of nonlinear dielectric susceptibility chi(nl) of relaxor ferroelectrics related with the freezing phase transition was investigated. First, based on the phenomenological approach, the anomaly in the chi(nl) was analyzed, including its shape, sign, and crystalline anisotropy. Second, the theoretical results were applied to the analysis of experimental data on nonlinear dielectric permittivity of single crystals of PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3 (PMN) relaxor. It was concluded that in contrast to earlier publications, there is no evidence for the anomaly in chi(nl)(T) of PMN related with the freezing transition. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics.

Electric susceptibility

In electricity (electromagnetism), the electric susceptibility (; Latin: susceptibilis "receptive") is a dimensionless proportionality constant that indicates the degree of polarization of a dielectric material in response to an applied electric field. The greater the electric susceptibility, the greater the ability of a material to polarize in response to the field, and thereby reduce the total electric field inside the material(and store energy).

Dielectric

In electromagnetism, a dielectric (or dielectric medium) is an electrical insulator that can be polarised by an applied electric field. When a dielectric material is placed in an electric field, electric charges do not flow through the material as they do in an electrical conductor, because they have no loosely bound, or free, electrons that may drift through the material, but instead they shift, only slightly, from their average equilibrium positions, causing dielectric polarisation.

Permittivity

In electromagnetism, the absolute permittivity, often simply called permittivity and denoted by the Greek letter ε (epsilon), is a measure of the electric polarizability of a dielectric. A material with high permittivity polarizes more in response to an applied electric field than a material with low permittivity, thereby storing more energy in the material. In electrostatics, the permittivity plays an important role in determining the capacitance of a capacitor.
