Lead-containing relaxor ferroelectrics show enormous piezoelectric capabilities relating to their heterogeneous structures. Time-resolved nanobeam X-ray diffraction reveals the time and position dependences of the local lattice strain on a relaxor ferroelectric single crystal mechanically vibrating and alternately switching, as well as its polarization under an alternating electric field. The complicated time and position dependences of the Bragg intensity distributions under an alternating electric field demonstrate that nanodomains with the various lattice constants and orientations exhibiting different electric field responses exist in the measured local area, as the translation symmetry breaks to the microscale. The dynamic motion of nanodomains in the heterogeneous structure, with widely distributed local lattice strain, enables enormous piezoelectric lattice strain and fatigue-free ferroelectric polarization switching.

This article presents measurements of the piezoelectric modulus d 11 of a single crystal of lanthanum gallium silicate (LGS, La3Ga5SiO14). The piezoelectric modulus was measured by X-ray diffraction at angles close to backscattering. Experiments in such schemes are very sensitive to relative changes in the lattice constant in crystals caused by external influences (constant or alternating electric field, mechanical load, temperature change etc.). The development opportunity of the technique is shown, its applicability is evaluated and results of measurement of the LGS single-crystal piezo modulus by the method of diffraction of synchrotron radiation at angles near π are discussed.

The anisotropy of deformations in potassium acid phthalate crystals arising under the action of an external electric field up to 1 kV mm−1 applied along the [001] polar axis was studied using X-ray diffraction methods at room temperature. Electrical conductivity was measured and rocking curves for reflections 400, 070 and 004 were obtained by time-resolved X-ray diffractometry in Laue and Bragg geometries. Two saturation processes were observed from the time dependences of the electrical conductivity. A shift in the diffraction peaks and a change in their intensity were found, which indicated a deformation of the crystal structure. Rapid piezoelectric deformation and reversible relaxation-like deformation, kinetically similar to the electrical conductivity of a crystal, were revealed. The deformation depended on the polarity and strength of the applied field. The deformation was more noticeable in the [100] direction and was practically absent in the [001] direction of the applied field. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed a disordered arrangement of potassium atoms, i.e. additional positions and vacancies. The heights of potential barriers between the positions of K+ ions and the paths of their possible migration in the crystal structure of potassium acid phthalate were determined. The data obtained by time-resolved X-ray diffractometry and X-ray structure analysis, along with additional electrophysical measurements, allow the conclusion that the migration of charge carriers (potassium cations) leads to lateral deformation of the crystal structure of potassium phthalate in an external electric field.

The relaxor ferroelectric PbMg1/3Ta2/3O3was studied by single-crystal neutron and synchrotron X-ray diffraction, and its detailed atomic structure modelled in terms of static Pb displacements that lead to the formation of polar nanoregions. Similar to the other members of the Pb-based relaxor family like PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3or PbZn1/3Nb2/3O3the diffuse scattering in the [H00]/[0K0] scattering plane has a butterfly shape around theh00 Bragg reflections and is orthogonal to the scattering vector forhh0 peaks. In the [HH0]/[00L] plane the diffuse scattering is elongated along the 〈112〉 directions and is orthogonal to the scattering vector forhhhreflections. It is found that a model consisting of correlated Pb displacements along the 〈111〉 directions reproduces adequately the main features of the diffuse scattering in PbMg1/3Ta2/3O3when the correlation lengths between the Pb-ion displacement vectors are longest along the 〈111〉 and shortest along the 〈11{\overline 2}〉 and 〈1{\overline 1}0〉 directions.
