The effect of the PZT component content (x) on the degree of phase transition diffuseness, as well as on the relative position of the depolarization temperature (Td) and the morphotropic phase transition (TF-R) was studied in transparent ceramics Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-xPbZr0.53Ti0.47O3 (PMN-xPZT)(x=10, 16, 23, 33 %). Dielectric, optical and pyroelectric measurements were carried out for this purpose. It was shown that all the studied ceramics are relaxors, and in the compositions with x=23, 33 % a spontaneous first-order ferroelectric phase transition is observed in the absence of an electric field. It was found that in all compositions a single-stage transition of the polarized sample to the relaxor phase occurs, i. e. the temperatures Td and TF-R coincide. The obtained results are discussed in terms of the degree of phase transition diffuseness and the sizes of the polar regions. Keywords: transparent ceramics, relaxors, ferroelectricity, induced phase transition.
