摘要: The structural evolution of Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 (PMN) has been reviewed in terms characteristic temperatures, length scales and timescales, with a view to considering the overall relaxor behaviour from perspectives strain elasticity. A conventional analysis lattice parameter data spontaneous strain/order coupling shows that even though normal phase transition does not occur ordering process is accompanied by significant volume which follows pattern static order evolving according expected for tricritical Tc ≈ 350 K. This matches intensity elastic central peak neutron scattering spectra, reflects development (or quasistatic) polar nanoregions (PNRs) as if mean-field transition. Use Landau free energy expansion, includes components describe ferroelectric contributions an cation together their formal strain, then allows softening cubic  →  rhombohedral be anticipated. extent observed differs this serves highlight additional roles local heterogeneity relaxation dynamics determining properties PMN.
