X Abstract

In addition to the dielectric relaxation around 170 K in the cubic structure of Sr_1–3x/2La_x TiO_3, a similar relaxation was observed at about 70 K in the tetragonal structure with an activation energy in the range 0.13–0.16 eV which increases as x in Sr_1–3x/2La_x TiO_3 varies from 0.60–3.00 at%. This relaxation is explained by Skanavi's model and is discussed in terms of thermal motions of Ti^4+ between potential minima produced by lattice distortions in the tetragonal structure. In order to provide a direct evidence for the suggestion that the dielectric relaxation around 170 K in the cubic is due to thermal motions of Ti^4+, dielectric properties on manganese-doped specimens, Sr_1–3x/2La_x Mn_y Ti_1–y ),O_3 with x=1.40×10^–2 and y=0.1×10^–2, were investigated because Mn4+ substitutes for Ti4+. As well as the relaxation due to Ti4+, this specimen exhibits another peak due to Mn4+ with an activation energy somewhat smaller than that of Ti4+. The activation energies and the relative intensity of these relaxation processes are explained by the difference in ionic radii of Mn^4+ and Ti^4+ and the difference in formation energies of a strontium vacancy adjacent to Mn^4+ and that to Ti^4+, which were calculated theoretically using a shell model.
