ResumoThe low-field dielectric response of the relaxor-ferroelectric (1−x)PbFe2/3W1/3O3–xPbTiO3 ceramics with various x, was investigated. The permittivity data were analyzed with empirical laws that describe the diffuse phase transitions in relaxors. A change of the character of the phase transition was found with increasing x, from a total diffuse, characteristic of relaxors, to a sharp one, typical of ferroelectrics. The deviations from the Curie–Weiss law of the dielectric constant data in the paraelectric phase were used to calculate a local order parameter within a modified-Landau theory for relaxors. The nonzero values of the local order parameter far above the Curie region indicate the thermal stability of the polar nanoregions in the relaxor state. The temperature dependence of the local order parameter clearly shows the evolution of the system from a short range ordered to a long range ordered ferroelectric, with increasing the PbTiO3 addition.
