Abstract

Copper(II)- and iron(III)-modified Pb[ZrxTi1-x]O-3 ferroelectrics were investigated by means of highfield/high-frequency EPR. The results obtained suggest that CU2+ and Fe3+ both substitute as acceptor centers for [ZrTi](4+). Whereas for the iron-doped system the charge compensating oxygen vacancies (VO) lead to the formation of charged (Fe'(Ti)- VO) defect associates, no such associates have been observed for the copper-modified system. As regards the morphotropic phase boundary, the model of a mesoscopic mixing of the pure-member phases has been refined to a picture in which a nanoscale composition distribution prevails.
