摘要
The electrostrictive properties above Te max represented by the field-related and polarization-related M and Q coefficients have been measured for PbZr_(1-x)Sn_(x)O_(3)single crystals with ani-ferroelectric phase transitions.The investigations presented in this paper have proved that the M_(11)(T)and Q_(11)(T)runs bring direct information of the pre-transitional effects connected with the co-existence of local polar objects with nonpolar matrix.Due to this co-existence,nonlinear Q_(11)(T)dependence in the neighborhood of T_(C)has been detected.Observed even in a wide tem-perature above T_(C),this co-existence is a natural feature of the material with ABO_(3)perovskite structure that undergoes structural transition to po lar phase.
