While sintering the Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3-BaTiO3 system through solid-reaction route, pyrochlore(Pb3Nb4O13) phase while reduces the dielectric constant is inevitably formed. Substitution of Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 with PbTiO3 and BaTiO3 can retard the occurrence of pyrochlore phase. The perovskite solid-solution without containing pyrochlore phase can be obtained when we consolidated the materials consisting of PbTiO3 and BaTiO3 at 1200℃ for 2 hours. The sintered body composed of 0.8Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.1PbTiO3-0.1BaTiO3 composition showed the diffused phase transition(DPT) phenomena and the maximum value of dielectric constant at 0℃ (Tc') with the value of 1.3×104.

Single phase $Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$ ceramics doped by 10 mol% of electron donors such as $La^3,\; Pr^{3+,4+},\; Nd^{3+},\; Sm^{3+}$, were synthesized and their B-site cationic ordering structures were investigated by XRD and TEM. In the XRD patterns, only fundamental reflections were observed for the undoped $Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$, while the (h/2 $\textsc{k}$/2ι/2)(h,$\textsc{k}$,ι all odd) superlattice reflections resulting from the 1:1 ordering induced unit cell doubling were also observed for the donor-doped $Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$. In the TEM selected area diffraction patterns, the (h/2 k/2 l/2)(h,k,l all odd) superlattice reflection spots as well as the fundamental reflection spots were observed for all the samples, but the relative intensities of the superlattice reflection spots to the fundamental reflection spots were significantly enhanced by the donor-doping. In the TEM dark-field images, antiphase boundaries were observed only for the donor-doped $Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$. It was therefore experimentally verified that doping by electron donors such as $La^3,\; Pr^{3+,4+},\; Nd^{3+},\; Sm^{3+}$, enhances the B-site cationic 1:1 ordering in $Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$. These experimental results were interpreted in terms of the charge compensation mechanism.

The effects of 0 to 6 mol% excess 91PbO-9WO3 addition on the microstructure and the dielectric pro-perties in 40Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-30PbTiO3-30Pb(Mg1/2W1/2)O3 ternary system were investigated. Excess 91PbO-9WO3 addition enhanced densification at relatively lower temperature due to the formation of liquid phase. The dielectric constant of the specimen with standard composition was 16,400 and that of specimen with 1 mol% excess additive was the maximum of 18,500. And more than 2 mol% excess addition decreased dielec-tric constant. Specimens with 2~4 mol% 91PbO-9WO3 addition showed dual peak maxima in the tem-perature dependence of dielectric constant. In the specimens which have more than 5 mol% excess addition a new phase with W-rich composition was formed at grain boundary.

The effects of 0 to 10mol% excess MgO addition on the microstructure and dielectric properties in 30Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-20PbTiO3-50Pb(Mg1/2W1/2)O3 ternary system were investigated. Samples were prepared by mixed oxide and precursor methods to compare the role of excess MgO. Excess MgO enhanced grain growth and increased dielectric constant. The dielectric constant and tesmperature dependence of dielectric constant of the sample sintered at 100$0^{\circ}C$ with 5mol% MgO were above 5,000 and +25% to -50% from - 55$^{\circ}C$ to 1$25^{\circ}C$, respectively. For these specimens the phases percent were mainly perovskite and Pb2WO5, which was confirmed by XRD analysis. Also the amount of cubic pyrochlore Pb3Nb4O13 and PbWO4 were de-creased with sintering temperature and MgO addition. BSE image showed the chemical inhomogeneous dis-tribution. Crystal phase formed at each sintering temperature and the chemical inhomogeneous distribution caused the decrease of the temperature dependence of dielectric constant.

It is investigated that the determination of the correlation between the change of microstructure and electrical properties. Yttria is added to the compositiojn of rhombohedral region in Pb(Mg1/3Nb2./3)O3-PbTiO3-PbZrO3 ternary system. Average grian size, lattice parameters and distribution of yttrium are characterized by XRD, SEM and EDS. Electrical properties are determined by measurement of Curie temperature, piezoelectric properties and hysteresis loops. The results are as follows; 1. Both lattice parameters, a and ${\alpha}$, are changed by addition of yttria to the composition of rhomboheadral region in Pb(Mg1/3Nb2./3)O3-PbTiO3-PbZrO3 ternary system and Curie temperature is proportional to the values at (90-${\alpha}$).

Electrically-induced strain and polarization studies of the (1-x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbZrO3 crystalline solutions have been done. Dielectric constants with temperature were investigated for 0$\leq$x$\leq$0.95. With increasing PbZrO3 content the transition maxima were found to move to higher temperature region and DPT (Diffused Phase Transition) properties were decreased for x$\leq$0.60. Phase transition between ferroelectric states and antiferroelectric states was confirmed for 0.93$\times$10-3 for 0.4

Variations of reaction sequence of $Pb(Zn_{0.6}Mg_{0.4})_{1/3}Nb_{2/3}O_3$[PZMN] with precusor mixing methods were ex-amined using X-ray diffraction and dielectric characteristics. In the present study three different types of precursor mixing methods (oxide mixing PbO+$ZnNb_2O_6+MgNb_2O_6$[Zn+MN] and PbO+(Zn,Mg)$Nb_2O_6$[ZMN] precursor mixing) were adopted. When the oxide mixing method was used for the PZMN synthesis a Zn-rich perovskite phase and pyrochlore phase were formed. Compared with PbO+ZN+MN precursor mixing method the PbO-ZMN precursor led to a lowering of the formation temperature for perovskite sin-gle phase. These variation of composition and formation temperature of the perovskite phase were dis-cussed in terms of the difference in the solid-reaction requence between these three different types of pre-cursor mixing.

The microwave dielectric properties of $[(Pb_{1-x}Ba_{x})_{1/2}La_{1/2}](Mg_{1/2}Nb_{1/2})O_{3}$ ceramics were investigated. When $[(Pb_{0.9}Ba_{0.1})_{1/2}La_{1/2}](Mg_{1/2}Nb_{1/2})O_{3}$ ceramics were sintered at $1250^{\circ}C$ and $1350^{\circ}C$ for 2hr, the microwave dielectric properties were obtained $\varepsilon_{r}=64\sim80$, $Q{\times}f=11,800\sim18,000$. As a result, $[(Pb_{0.9}Ba_{0.1})_{1/2}La_{1/2}](Mg_{1/2}Nb_{1/2})O_{3}$ having $\varepsilon_{r}=80$, $Q{\times}f=11,800$ (at 4 GHz) was developed.
