We report the results of neutron elastic scattering measurements between -250°C and 620°C on the lead-free relaxor Na 1/2Bi 1/2TiO 3 (NBT). Strong, anisotropic, elastic diffuse scattering intensity decorates the (100), (110), (111), (200), (220), and (210)

Evidence for Anisotropic Polar Nanoregions in Relaxor Pb(Mg 1/3} Nb 2/3} )O 3 : A Neutron Study of the Elastic Constants and Anomalous TA Phonon Damping in PMN

We use neutron inelastic scattering methods to characterize the acoustic phonons in the relaxor Pb(Mg 1/3}Nb 2/3})O 3 (PMN) and demonstrate the presence of a highly anisotropic damping mechanism that is directly related to short-range, polar correlations

Neutron diffraction measurements were performed on single crystals of PbZr 1¿xTi xO 3 (PZT)with x=0.325 and x=0.460. The data refute the thesis that the ferroelectric phases of PZT within this composition range, all of which are strongly piezoelectric, are
