Abstract
High-energy mechanical activation of the starting oxides was found to reduce dramatically or even suppress the frequency shift of the dielectric permittivity maximum of ceramic ferroelectrics-relaxors Pb2InNbO6 and Pb2InTaO6 sintered from the mechanochemically synthesized nanopowders. At the same time, the heights of the dielectric permittivity maxima for both compounds are substantially higher than those reported in the literature for similar ceramics obtained by usual solid state reactions route.
