(1-)BiFeO-BaTiO固溶体の局所構造解析を放射光高エネルギーX線回折実験で得られたデータをPDF解析することによって行った。まず、XAFS実験を行いサンプルスクリーニングを行ったところ、BiFeOリッチな組成での構造揺らぎが大きいことがわかった。そこでBiFeOリッチな組成のサンプルのPDF解析を行った。その結果、平均構造は立方晶構造であるものの局所構造は菱面体晶構造で再現でき、さらに揺らぎの大きな組成では菱面体晶の対称性を破る変位があることがわかった。

Local structural analysis of the (1-) BiFeO-BaTiO solid solution was performed by PDF analysis of the data obtained in the synchrotron radiation high-energy X-ray diffraction experiment. First, when XAFS experiments were performed and sample screening was performed, it was found that structural fluctuations were large in the BiFeO-rich composition. Therefore, PDF analysis of a sample with BiFeO-rich composition was performed. As a result, it was found that although the average structure is a cubic structure, the local structure can be reproduced with a rhombohedral crystal structure, and there is a displacement that breaks the symmetry of the rhombohedral structure in a composition with a large fluctuation.
