$Sr_{0.6}Ba_{0.4}Nb_2O_6$ (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.

Tungsten bronze structure $Sr_{1-x}Ba_xNb_2O_6$ (SBN) single crystals were grown primarily using the Czochralski method, in which several difficulties were encountered: striation formation and diameter control. Striation formation occurred mainly because of crystal rotation in an asymmetric thermal field and unsteady melt convection driven by thermal buoyancy forces. To optimize the growth conditions, bulk SBN crystals were grown in a furnace with resistance heating elements. The zone of $O_2$ atmosphere for crystal growth is 9.0 cm and the difference of temperature between the melt and the top is $70^{\circ}C$. According to the growth conditions of the rotation rate, grown SBN became either polycrystalline or composed of single crystals. In the case of as-grown $Sr_{1-x}Ba_xNb_2O_6$ (x = 0.4; 60SBN) single crystals, the color of the crystals was transparent yellowish and the growth axis was the c-axis. The facets of the crystals were of various shapes. The length and diameter of the single crystals was 50~70 mm and 5~10 mm, respectively. Tungsten bronze SBN growth is affected by the temperature profile and the atmosphere of the growing zone. The thermal expansion coefficients on heating and on cooling of the grown SBN single crystals were not matched. These coefficients were thought to influence the phase transition phenomena of SBN.

텅스텐브론즈 구조를 가지는 Sr$_{x}Ba_{1-x}Nb_{2}O_{6}$(SBN) (0.3$\le$x$\ge$0.7) 세라믹스를 고상반응법으로 합성하고 Sr/Ba의 비에 따른 유전특성을 조사하였다. SBN 세라믹스는 Sr/Ba의 비가 증가함에 따라 상전이 온도는 낮아지고 상전이 온도에서의 최대 유전율은 증가하였다. 또한 SBN 세라믹스는 Sr 함량에 따른 relaxor 거동을 정량화하여 평가하였는데, Sr/Ba의 비가 증가할수록 유전율은 더욱 완만해지는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이러한 실험 결과를 텅스텐브론지 구조를 가진 SBN 세라믹스의 결정구조 관점에서 해석하였다.

${Sr_{1-x}Ba_xNb_2O_6$(SBN) have been obtained in Pt crucible by melting and cooling in air atmosphere. Some SBNs being at the bottom of the crucible are black and transparent, and the other SBNs colorless. The black SBN became to be colorless by oxidation heat treatment $1,300^{\circ}C$ for 4 h, Curie temperature is changed by colorless change of black SBN. The reason seems to be $Nb^{5+}$ oxidation of some $Nb^{4+}$ ions in SBN or effect of unknown impurities. Diffused Phase Transition (DPT) was appeared during heating and cooling process. Various sintered SBN ceramics specimen showed relaxor characteristics.
