Stability of the monoclinic phase in the ferroelectric perovskite PbZr(1-x)TixO3
B. Noheda, D. E. Cox, G. Shirane +3
Recent structural studies of ferroelectric PbZr(1-x)TixO3 (PZT) with x= 0.48, have revealed a new monoclinic phase in the vicinity of the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB), previou…
The monoclinic phase in PZT: new light on morphotropic phase boundaries
B. Noheda, J. A. Gonzalo, R. Guo +4
A summary of the work recently carried out on the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) of PZT is presented. By means of x-ray powder diffraction on ceramic samples of excellent qualit…
A tetragonal-to-monoclinic phase transition in a ferroelectric perovskite: the structure of PbZr(0.52)Ti(0.48)O3
B. Noheda, J. A. Gonzalo, L. E. Cross +4
The perovskite-like ferroelectric system PbZr(1-x)Ti(x)O3 (PZT) has a nearly vertical morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) around x=0.45-0.50. Recent synchrotron x-ray powder diffract…
A monoclinic ferroelectric phase in the Pb(Zr1-xTix)O3 solid solution
B. Noheda, D. E. Cox, G. Shirane +4
A previously unreported ferroelectric phase has been revealed on a highly homogeneous sample of Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 by high-resolution synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction measureme…
