Abstract

Dielectric behaviour of Sr0.61Ba0.39Nb2O6 (61SBN) and Sr0.75Ba0.25Nb2O6 (75SBN) single crystals has been studied. It is observed that 61SBN has relatively low diffuseness as well as smaller relaxation compared to 75SBN. Increase in the configurational entropy imposed by the change in defect structure is suggested to be the origin of this behaviour. Analysis using Vogel-Fulcher expression and modified Curie-Weiss law give a signature of long-range polar order in 61SBN. The value of γ for 61SBN is closer to unity (1.14), where as for 75SBN it is 1.52. The fluctuation (in the orientation) of dipoles near dielectric maxima in SBN system is mediated by a paraelectric state.
