Abstract
The objective of our study is to identify the role of gamma rays to control the existing limit of ferroelectric nature of lead meta niobate (PbNb2O6) single crystals in terms of domain-defect interaction. The critical value of density of oxygen vacancy sites and average distance between two successive oxygen vacancies, which are responsible for ferroelectric nature in lead niobate single crystal have been calculated. The disappearance of Ferro electricity, which is associated with domain-defect interaction as well as an absence of obeying the Curie-Weiss law have been discussed in gamma rays irradiated lead meta niobate single crystal.
