Cluster superconductivity in the magnetoelectric Pb(Fe1/2Sb1/2)O3 ceramics
We report the observation of cluster (local) superconductivity in the
magnetoelectric Pb(Fe1/2Sb1/2)O3 ceramics prepared at a hydrostatic pressure of
6 GPa and temperatures 1200-1800 K to stabilize the perovskite phase. The
superconductivity is manifested by an abrupt drop of the magnetic
susceptibility at the critical temperature TC 7 K. Both the magnitude of this
drop and TC decrease with magnetic field increase. Similarly, the low-field
paramagnetic absorption measured by EPR spectrometer drops significantly below
TC as well. The observed effects and their critical magnetic field dependence
are interpreted as manifestation of the superconductivity and Meissner effect
in metallic Pb nanoclusters existing in the ceramics. Their volume fraction and
average size were estimated as 0.1-0.2% and 140-150 nm, respectively. The
superconductivity related effects disappear after oxidizing annealing of the
ceramics.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figure

Macroscopic and local piezoelectric properties of Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O-3-PbTiO3 single crystals exhibiting giant piezoelectric response
The temperature and bias field dependences of macroscopic, measured by pulsating load method, and local, measured by piezoresponse force microscopy, longitudinal piezoelectric responses have been studied in (001)-oriented flux-grown (1 - x) Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O-3-xPbTiO(3) (0.0 <= x <= 0.29) single crystals. Both types of responses exhibit a dramatic enhancement with increasing bias fields. At the same time, their temperature maxima shift from the Vogel-Fulcher temperature to the vicinity of the dielectric permittivity maximum, where the critical point in the E-T phase diagram is located. Both datasets confirm a quasicritical nature of the giant field-induced piezoelectric response in relaxor single crystals. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LL
