This letter presents direct evidence for the existence of the same inherently polar one-dimensional (1D), displacive disorder in BaTaO2N as occurs in paraelectric BaTiO3 as well as in doped BaTiO3 relaxor ferroelectric systems. The inherently polar, off-center and oppositely directed displacements of Ta and neighboring O/N ions along < 001 > give rise to 1D polar nanoregions (PNRs) and are responsible for the dielectric properties of BaTaO2N. A bond valence sum analysis of the underlying crystal chemistry of BaTaO2N shows clearly that O/N ordering is not directly responsible for inducing the observed 1D PNRs.
