Abstract

The slowing down of dipole dynamics upon cooling into nonergodic relaxor phase in classical relaxor Pb(Mg13Nb23)O3 crystal is studied using dielectric spectroscopy in the range of 104105Hz. We discover that two overlapping relaxation processes obeying the Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts law, exp[(tτ)β], and the Curie-von Schweidler law, tn, respectively, tend to freeze out at the same temperature Tf(=213K). The values of τ1, β, and n obey the Vogel-Fulcher law tending to zero at Tf.
