This method is based on the analysis of relaxation of the permittivity after thermal annealing and the analysis of the temperature activation of the permittivity of the Pb(Zr,Ti)O<sub>3</sub> ferroelectric. The equality of the activation energy corresponding to the process of migration of oxygen vacancies and the thermal energy of the decay of the domain structure was established, which was confirmed by studying the surface of the samples by scanning electron microscopy. When this temperature was reached, the surface of the domain walls was detached from oxygen vacancies, which are pinning centers. This manifested itself in photographs of the microstructure as a change in the ordering of the domains emerging on the surface of the sample, which led to an irreversible decrease in the permittivity of the sample. For the obtained activation energies, the physical process of domain wall motion activation is established, which is determined by their pinning on structural defects (oxygen vacancies). It is assumed that the irreversible decay of the domain structure occurs when the domain walls are displaced by distances exceeding the elementary lattice parameter of the ferroelectric. The proposed method can be part of a comprehensive study that includes electrophysical, microscopic and X-ray diffraction measurements to determine the defective structure of a ferroelectric material.</p>","PeriodicalId":671,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surface Investigation: X-ray, Synchrotron and Neutron Techniques","volume":"18 3","pages":"530 - 535"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141718873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The temperature and time dependences of the density of beryllium bronze BrB-2 during the decomposition of a supersaturated solid solution in a constant magnetic field of strength 557.2 kA/m were studied at aging temperatures of 250, 300, 350, and 400°C and aging duration from 0 to 1 h, and a comparative analysis of their behavior with the corresponding microhardness dependences was carried out. The correlation was discovered between the temperature and time dependences of the density and microhardness of beryllium bronze BrB-2. For example, at an aging temperature of 350°C a sharp maximum in the density of the alloy is observed, and similarly at the same point the absolute maximum of microhardness is achieved. In addition, it was found that the application of a constant magnetic field to the aging process under all heat treatment modes always leads to an increase in the density and microhardness of beryllium bronze BrB-2 compared to the density of the alloy aged in its absence. A physical interpretation is given to the observed facts and patterns.
