(1-x)Pb(Mg1/2W1/2)O3-xPb(Yb2/3W1/3)O3 ceramics have been prepared by a conventional ceramic process. Their crystal structures, phase transitions and dielectric properties have been investigated in this paper. Limited solid solutions (x ≤ 6 mol%) could be formed. The x = 0.02 composition demonstrates mixture of orthorhombic (Pmcn) and cubic (Fm-3m) phases, while apparent single-phase solid solution with B-site 1:1 ordering (space group: Fm-3m) could be observed for the 0.02 < x ≤ 0.06 compositions at room temperature. The solid solution demonstrates a first-order phase transition. Local orthorhombic distortion in the cubic matrix above transition temperature, manifested in the large temperature factors of Pb2+ and O2− observed in the structure refinements, could be further confirmed by Raman analysis. The doping of (Yb2/3W1/3)4+ leads to the decrease in orthorhombic-cubic phase transition temperature. The microscopic nature affecting the driving force of the phase transition was discussed from the point of stereochemistry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
