Uniaxial relaxor ferroelectric Sr0.61Ba0.39Nb2O6 single crystal has been investigated in the vicinity of its phase transition using neutron scattering and dielectric spectroscopy. A global-type thermal hysteresis is evidenced by both techniques in the ferroelectric phase and up to about 15 K above Tc. In addition, a part of the transverse neutron diffuse scattering in the 001 Brillouin zone, presumably related to static nanodomain structure, can be suppressed by prior poling the crystal in electric field of 3 kV/cm. The remaining part of the transverse neutron diffuse scattering and the real part of permittivity show a similar temperature dependence. The temperature position of the maximal scattering intensity Tmax depends significantly on the scattering wave vector. Tmax shifts monotonically to higher temperature with the increasing wave vector in all investigated cooling and heating regimes.
