Abstract

Curie temperature behavior of Ba_xSr_1-xTiO₃ ferroelectrics ceramic (x=0.9) in dependence on bias field is detected by means of acoustic emission. Curie temperature exhibits nontrivial V-shape effect with threshold field of 0.3kV/cm, equivalent to random electric fields strength. This random field strength is compared with those in Ba_xSr_1-xTiO₃ relaxor ferroelectrics (x=0.6, 0.7, 0.8) obtained previously, as well as with those determined from mean domain sizes in Ba_xSr_1-xNb₂O₆ relaxor ferroelectrics (x=0.25, 0.39, 0.6). It is estimated that the random field strength of Ba_0.6Sr_0.4TiO₃ is 30 times stronger than those of Ba_0.6Sr_0.4Nb₂O₆ and it is shown that the random field strengths of both Ba_xSr_1-xTiO₃ and Ba_xSr_1-xNb₂O₆ obey the same exponential law in dependence on barium content.
