Monoclinic structure of unpoled morphotropic high piezoelectric (PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3)0.65-(PbTiO3)0.35 and (PbZn1/3Nb2/3O3)0.91-(PbTiO3)0.09 compounds

Abstract
Evidences of a monoclinic phase in unpoled (PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3)1-x-(PbTiO3)x with x=0.35 (PMN-PT 35%) and unpoled (PbZn1/3Nb2/3O3)1-x-(PbTiO3)x with x=0.09 (PZN-PT 9%) are presented from a neutron Rietveld analysis. This monoclinic phase is different from the phase recently evidenced by Noheda and coworkers in PbZr1-xTixO3 with x=0.481 but is identical to the phase observed in poled PZN-PT with x=0.102 by the same authors. The structural resolutions allowed us to compare both structures and to deduce the direction and magnitude of polarization. In PMN-PT 35% and PZN-PT 9% this phase is characterised by a weak value of polarization, a strong deformation of oxygen polyhedra and weak cationic shifts.
