The temperature dependence of the superlattice reflections: a) F spots and b) alpha spots in a lead magnesium niobate (PMN) single crystals containing 0% and 6% of PbTiO3 (PT) has been studied using synchrotron x-ray scattering techniques. (No superlattice reflections were found in PMN doped with 32% PT). Analysis of the temperature dependence of the alpha spots suggests the existence of the correlated anti-parallel atomic displacements that form nanoregions different from the chemical nanodomains. While the correlation length is temperature independent, the magnitude of these displacements increases on cooling below the freezing temperature Tf. Intensities of the alpha spots above this temperature become indistinguishable from the background. Our results show that value of Tf for each composition is very close to the one obtained from a Vogel-Fulcher fit to the frequency dependence of the dielectric constant maximum Tm. The relation of these correlated anti-ferrodistortive fluctuations to polar ferroelectric nanodomains and relaxor behavior needs further study.
