Аннотация: By slow cooling of the melt, large Bi2Ti2O7 single crystals with a composition close to stoichiometric were grown. No traces of impurity phases were found on the X-ray diffraction patterns. A structural model with the space group Fd3m and displacive disorder in Bi-sublattice was proposed based on X-ray single crystal diffraction data. The dielectric properties of Bi2Ti2O7 single crystals as a function of temperature at different frequencies were studied for the first time. As in the case of ceramic samples, a step-like frequency-dependent anomaly was detected at a temperature of about 220 K at a frequency of 1 kHz. It was found that attempts to describe the dielectric relaxation using the Arrhenius equation do not lead to physically significant values of the fitting parameters. However, the relaxation behavior is well described by the empirical Vogel−Fulcher relation, which is typical for many dipole and spin glasses, as well as relaxor ferroelectrics. Based on the value of fitting parameters, Bi2Ti2O7 occupies an intermediate position between the canonical relaxor PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3 on one hand and lead-free weakly coupled relaxors based on BaTiO3 on the other one. Possible mechanisms of the observed relaxor-like behavior of the Bi2Ti2O7 single crystal are discussed in terms of correlated hopping of bismuth cations and geometric frustration of the pyrochlore lattice.
