Abstract

We use neutron total scattering measurements with reverse Monte Carlo analysis methods incorporating an atom-swapping algorithm to investigate the short-range Zr/Ti cation ordering at the perovskite crystalloraphic B sites and micro structure within PbZr0.5Ti0.5O3 solid solution at different temperature. Our results show that there is no Zr/Ti ordering at the B sites. TiO6 and ZrO6 units are rotated and distorted. The amplitude of rotations of the TiO6 units is larger than that of the ZrO6 units, accompanied by more distortions of the angles within the TiO6 units.
