Strophoidal Argand diagram and the distribution of relaxation times inK1xLi

Abstract: We have studied the relaxation of off-center Li + ions in KTaC>3 by dielectric measurements on 1% and 1.5% crystals, from 20 Hz to 2 MHz and from 4 to 200 K. The shape of the e" vs e Argand diagrams demonstrates the existence of a distribution of relaxation times. In analogy with spin glasses, a new expression is proposed for the analysis of these diagrams, a strophoidal function, which leads to a distribution function D(0) decreasing for large 6 as #~( 1+a) with 0 < a < 1. The most probable relaxation time 0 … Show more

“…This temperature dependence of the dielectric relaxation time is contradictory to the conventional Ahrenius-type relaxation ( Ϫ1 ϰe ϪE/kT ) in the permanent dipole systems such as KLT (K 1Ϫx Li x TaO 3 ) crystals. 12 In KLT, the relaxation rate increases when the temperature increases. We should emphasize that the difference in the temperature dependence between the photoinduced dipoles in KTaO 3 and the permanent dipoles in KLT shows clearly an exotic aspect of photoinduced giant permittivity.…”

“…3,4,16 On the basis of rich experimental results regarding the dielectric properties, a number of theories on the diffused phase transition in KLT have been proposed. [17][18][19][20][21][22] Much attention has also been directed to determining the correlation length of the Li-induced dipoles through various experiments, such as Raman scattering, 23 dielectric measurement, 24 second-harmonic generation, 25,26 x-ray diffuse scattering, 27 and neutron diffuse scattering. 28 The reported correlation lengths are summarized in Table II in the study by Yong et al 28 Azzini et al have also proposed the presence of two kinds of correlation: dipolar and quadrupolar.…”
