Abstract

The studies of dielectric response in ferromagnetic lead ferrotantalate Pb(Fe1/2Ta1/2)O3 are reported over a wide range of temperature under the applied bias field. The features of dielectric nonlinearity deduced from behaviour of reverse ε'(E=) curves at different temperatures, including regions of ferroelectric phase transition and vicinity of the Néel point, are examined. Obtained results indicate a substantial broadening of the ferroelectric phase transition. The results are discussed with respect to effects of ferroelectric ordering in relaxor materials of such kind.
