Large acoustic thermal hysteresis in relaxor ferroelectric Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3

The diffuse phase transition in relaxor-based 0.93Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3–0.07PbTiO3 ferroelectric single crystals is studied by observing the large thermal hysteresis over 100 K of the longitudinal acoustic (LA) phonon. By observing this hysteresis in the LA phonon frequency with different temperature-cyc...
