In this work, we used Monte Carlo simulation to investigate the uniaxial stress dependence of the relaxor dielectric properties. The Metropolis algorithm and the spin glass type interaction were used in updating the local polarizations (representing the polar nano-regions). The exchange interaction in the spin glass Hamiltonian was assumed to be stress dependent via the strain. From the results, the frequency dependence of the dielectric permittivity were found, where, at high enough stress, the dielectric permittivity decreases with increasing stresses in qualitatively good agreement with experiments. In addition, from the modified Curie-Weiss law, all ’s stay close to 2. Therefore, this implies the frequency dispersion universality of the relaxor system under loading conditions.

The Ginzburg-Landau theory on ferroelectrics with random field induced by dipole defects is studied using Monte Carlo simulation in order to investigate the possible dipole clustering and freezing behaviors as well as the dielectric relaxation of relaxor ferroelectrics. The dipole clustering above the transition temperature and the cluster-freezing far below this temperature are identified. The intrinsic correspondence between dipole-clustering/freezing and the multi-peaked time-domain distribution of dielectric relaxation is established.
