Abstract

Diffuse x-ray scattering intensities from a single crystal of 0.96(Bi1/2Na1/2TiO3)–0.04(BaTiO3) have been collected at room temperature with and without application of an electric field along the [100] direction. Distinct features in the diffuse scattering intensities indicate correlations on a nanometer length scale. It is shown that locally correlated planar-like structures and octahedral tilt-domains within the room temperature rhombohedral R3c phase are both electrically active and are irreversibly affected by application of an electric field of 4.3 kV/mm. The field dependence of these nanoscale structures is correlated with the relaxor behavior of the material by macroscopic permittivity measurements.
