    Abstract:
    Neutron powder diffraction data, collected over the temperature range 10-770 K, have been analysed in order to make a detailed characterization of the sequence of phase transitions occurring in the Hf-rich ferroelectric PbHf(0.8)Ti(0.2)O3, titanium hafnium lead oxide. Over the whole temperature range this compound undergoes two phase transitions, which involve cationic displacements and octahedral deformations (tilt and/or distortion) leading to strongly distorted perovskite-type structures. The first transition appears around 415 K between two ferroelectric rhombohedral phases: a low-temperature nonzero-tilt phase F(RL) (space group R3c) and an intermediate zero-tilt phase FRH (space group R3m). The second one, detected around 520 K, is associated with a ferroelectric to-paraelectric transition between the FRH phase and the Pc cubic phase (space group Pm3m). From high-resolution neutron powder diffraction data (diffractometer 3T2-LLB, Saclay, France, lambda = 1.2251 A), the crystallographic structure of the three successive phases has been accurately determined at the following temperatures: T = 10 K (FRL): space group R3c, Z = 6, a(hex) = 5.7827 (1), c(hex) = 14.2702 (4) A, V(hex) = 413.26 (2) A3; T = 150 K (F(RL)): space group R3c, Z = 6, a(hex) = 5.7871 (1), C(hex) = 14.2735 (4) A, V(hex) = 413.98 (3) A3; T = 290 K (FRL): space group R3c, Z = 6, a(hex) = 5.7943 (1), C(hex) = 14.2742 (5) A, V(hex) = 415.04 (3) A3; T = 440 K (F(RH)): space group R3c, Z = 6, a(hex) = 5.8025 (1), c(hex) = 14.2648 (4) A, V(hex) = 415.94 (3) A3; T = 520 K (Pc): space group Pm3m, Z = 1, a(cub) = 4.1072 (2) A, V(cub) = 69.29 (1) A3. In addition, a neutron powder thermodiffractometry experiment, performed between 290 and 770 K (diffractometer D1B-ILL, Grenoble, France, lambda = 2.533 A), has been used to study in situ the temperature-induced phase transitions. From sequential Rietveld refinements, the temperature dependence of the cation displacements and the rotation and/or distortion of oxygen octahedra was derived.
