Abstract:
The temperature dependences of the permittivity and specific heat of a mixed $(1-x)$PbNi$_{1/3}$Nb$_{2/3}$O$_3$–$x$PbTiO$_3$ system (where $x$ = 0.3, 0.4, 0.5) have been studied over a wide temperature range 290–700 K. It has been shown that the composition with $x$ = 0.3 undergoes a diffuse phase transition at $T_m\approx$ 315 K. A specific heat anomaly that is characteristic of the phase transition has been revealed at $T\approx$ 315 K in all the compositions under study.
