Single Crystal Study of Competing Rhombohedral and Monoclinic Order in Lead Zirconate Titanate
arXiv:1011.3509 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.105.207601
Abstract
Neutron diffraction data obtained on single crystals of PbZr1-xTixO3 with x = 0.325 and x = 0.460, which lie on the pseudorhombohedral side of the morphotropic phase boundary, suggest a coexistence of rhombohedral (R3m/R3c) and monoclinic (Cm) domains and that monoclinic order is enhanced by Ti substitution. A monoclinic phase with a doubled unit cell (Cc) is ruled out as the ground state.
