The perovskites Pb(Sc 1/2 Nb 1/2 )O 3 and Pb(Sc 1/2 Ta 1/2 )O 3 can be obtained in a disordered state by means of a synthesis at high temperature (1250 to 1500°C). Ordering of the trivalent and pentavalent ions occurs during annealing at lower temperatures. The kinetics of this ordering process are investigated by means of X‐ray diffraction, dielectric polarisation, and DSC measurements. The ordering process proceeds via a nucleation‐growth process and the average diameter of the ordered domains as a function of the annealing time is determined by X‐ray line broadening. Disordering experiments are carried out on Pb(Sc 1/2 Nb 1/2 )O 3 and an order‐disorder transition temperature of 1210°C is yielded.
