Abstract

Highly ordered ferroelectric PbSc_0.5Ta_0.5O₃ crystals were studied by acoustic emission over a wide temperature range. Acoustic emission was found at three characteristic temperatures: 330, 409, and 600K, which are close to those, known from the same disordered crystals, containing polar nanoregions. The microstructure in our crystals contains structural "tweed" rather than nanoregions. The coincidence of acoustic emission temperatures points towards a close structural relationship between nanoregions and "tweed." Under electric field, these temperatures shift similar to "critical end point" behavior. The obtained data prove that acoustic emission detects signals in a wider parameter space than previously expected.
