A contribution to understanding the complex phase diagram of PZT compounds

ABSTRACTWe have succeeded to grow single PbZr1-xTixO3 (PZT) crystal with Ti content of the order of x = 0.13. PZT compound with such Ti concentration is characterised by structural coexistence of the rhombohedral and monoclinic structures at each temperature below TC. It seems that investigations of the dielectric, piezoelectric and optical properties confirm this highly complicated co-existence.
