Abstract: | X-ray and optical measurements are used to show that the spontaneous strain (b/a-1) and optical birefringence Δnab in single crystals of ferroelectric PbBi2Nb2O9 are a function of the state of electrical poling, going to a zero in the unpoled state. In poled crystals all spontaneous strain is lost at a temperature ≃200°C below the dielectric Curie temperature in a manner reminiscent of the behavior of the perovskite relaxor ferroelectrics which have diffuse phase transitions. |
