Morphotropic domain structures and phase transitions in relaxor-based piezo-/ferroelectric (1−x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3−xPbTiO3 single crystals
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The domain structures and phase transitions of relaxor-based piezo-/ferroelectric (1−x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3−xPbTiO3 [PMNT] single crystals, grown from high temperature solutions, have been analyzed by polarized light microscopy using an optical crystallographic approach. The substitution of Ti4+ ions for the B-site complex (Mg1/3Nb2/3)4+ ions in the relaxor PMN results in a long-range symmetry breaking, as revealed by the formation of birefringent macrodomains. The domain structures of the PMNT80/20 crystals indicate a primitive trigonal symmetry at room temperature with a weak birefringence. PMNT crystals with 50% Ti show tetragonal domain structures, reflecting the symmetry of PbTiO3. Single crystals of PMNT65/35 exhibit complex morphotropic domain structures, which are composed of both the trigonal and the tetragonal phase intimately mixed together. The domain structures, the sequence and temperature of phase transitions have been interpreted in relation to the morphotropic phase boundary behavior of the PMN-PT system. It is shown that in situ analysis of domain structures and phase transitions can be used as a nondestructive analytical tool for evaluating the local morphotropic composition and the properties, which sensitively depend upon the individual domains and the Ti4+ concentration. The analysis of morphotropic domain structures and phase transitions provides a better understanding of the microscopic mechanisms of the enhanced piezoelectric properties recently disclosed in PMNT and other relaxor-based piezocrystals.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
