摘要
We investigate the gradual crossover from ferroelectric to relaxor behaviour versus substitution in lead-free ceramics. We show that the Vogel-Fulcher law in the relaxor state is the extrapolation of the ferroelectric line. To explain this extrapolation, we suggest that both the host matrix and the impurity induced clusters are triggered by the BaTiO3 soft mode correlation length. The Ti-O bond oscillations are the key mechanism.
