Abstract

By using EPR of Fe3+ probe ions in Ba1-xCaxTiO3 (x = 0 and 0.05), clear evidence has been obtained for the existence of dynamic fluctuation between cubic and tetragonal phases in the vicinity of the phase transition temperature. This was manifested as a total absence of the EPR of Fe3+ in the temperature range 112-160°c for x = 0.05, clearly showing that there is a time-dependent interaction serving as an additional and more effective pathway of spin relaxation. The time scale of the fluctuation is estimated to be 6×10-11 s.
