| Abstract: | We characterize in details the aging properties of the ferroelectric phase of KTa1-xNbx O3 (KTN), where both rejuvenation and (partial) memory are observed. In particular, we carefully examine the frequency dependence
of several quantities that characterize aging, rejuvenation and memory. We find a marked subaging behaviour, with an a.c.
dielectric susceptiblity scaling as ω, where t
w is the waiting time. We suggest an interpretation in terms of pinned domain walls, much along the lines proposed for aging
in a disordered ferromagnet, where both domain wall reconformations and overall (cumulative) domain growth are needed to rationalize the experimental findings.
