Abstract
$Sr_{0.6}Ba_{0.4}Nb_2O_6$ (60SBN) and $Sr_{0.75}Ba_{0.35}Nb_2O_6$ (75SBN) single crystals were grown by Czochralski method. Growing direction was <001>, and as-grown crystals has well-developed (001) plane. Temperature- and frequency dependence of dielectric constant represent relaxor ferroelectrics. 60SBN has wider optical transmittance than 75SBN.
