a Phase diagram of Pb0.99(Zr1-xTix)0.98Nb0.02O3 solid solution in composition range from x = 0 to x = 0.08. The PE, IP, AFE, and FE refer to paraelectric, intermediate, antiferroelectric, and ferroelectric phases, respectively. The blue arrows highlight the different arrangement of dipoles in AFE and FE phases. b, c The variations of dielectric constant for increasing and subsequently decreasing temperature spanning the phase transitions of IP-AFE and IP-FE for PZTN98/2 and PZTN97/3, respectively. d Lattice volumes (2ap × 2 bp × 2cp) of PZTN98/2 and PZTN97/3 as a function of temperature. e, f Temperature-dependent hysteresis loops for PZTN98/2 and PZTN97/3, respectively. The black curves indicate the polarization response for initial state.
