AbstractBoth the longitudinal (LA) Brillouin back-scattering spectra and dielectric permittivity along the [001] direction have been measured as a function of temperature for a relaxor ferroelectric single crystal (PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3)0.68(PbTiO3)0.32 (PMN-32%PT). A sharp ferroelectric phase transition (which is associated with a Landau-Khalatnikov-like phonon damping maximum) was observed near 445 K. As temperature increases, a diffuse phase transition was detected near 280 K. In addition, the nature of the thermal hysteresis for the dielectric permittivity confirms that these transitions (near 280 and 445 K for heating procedure) are diffuse first-order and first-order, It respectively. The dielectric data prove the existence of an electric dipolar relaxation process below 300 K.

The electrical properties of [001]-oriented morphotropic phase boundary (1-x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-xPbTiO3 (PMN-33%PT) single crystal have investigated as a function of temperature and frequency. The ac-conductivity exhibited continuous dispersion at all temperatures and frequency range examined and was associated to the thermally activated space charge carriers and local off-centering of Ti4+ and Pb2+ ions. The variations in ferroelectric phase transition temperatures observed in the poled state were associated to the polarization fluctuations and phase co-existence.

Crystals of 4′-(isoquinolin-4-yl)-4,2′:6′,4′′-terpyridine (iqtp), C24H16N4, grown from an ethanol solution, undergo a reversible first-order single-crystal to single-crystal phase transition at T c in the range 273–275 K, from a disordered higher-temperature phase [form (I)] in the space group P21/c, with one single molecule in the asymmetric unit, to an ordered lower-temperature one [form (II)] in the space group P21/n, with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. There is a group–subgroup relationship linking (I)–(II), due to cell doubling and the disappearance of a number of symmetry operations. In addition to X-ray diffraction, the transition has been monitored by Raman spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry, the latter disclosing an enthalpy change of 0.72 (6) kJ mol−1. Variations of the unit-cell parameters with temperature between 170 and 293 K are presented. The evolution of diffraction spots in the vicinity of the transition temperature shows the coexistence of both phases, confirming the first-order character of the transition. Structural details of both phases are analyzed and intermolecular interactions compared in order to investigate the mechanism of the phase transition. A three-dimensional Hirshfeld surface analysis was performed to corroborate the significant changes in the intermolecular features.
