In this review the dielectric properties of relaxor ferroelectrics are discussed and compared
with the properties of normal dielectrics and ferroelectrics. We try to draw a general picture of …

Relaxor ferroelectricity is one of the most widely investigated but the least understood
material classes in the condensed matter physics. This is largely due to the lack of …

The intricacies in identifying the appropriate material system for energy storage applications
have been the biggest struggle of the scientific community. Countless contributions by …

The electric-field–temperature phase diagram for the lead-free relaxor material (1− x)(Bi 1/2
Na 1/2) TiO 3− xBaTiO 3 (x= 0.03, 0.06, and 0.09) doped with 0.5 mol% Mn (BNT-100xBT …

Understanding the relationship between the structure and “giant” piezoelectric properties of
relaxor ferroelectric solid solutions (1–x) Pb (Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3) O 3–x PbTiO 3 [PMN–x PT] and …

Electric field-induced phase transitions were investigated in (111),(110), and (100) thin
platelets of relaxor ferroelectric Pb (Mg 1∕ 3 Nb 2∕ 3) O 3 single crystals with electric fields …

The application of the most effective methods of the domain visualization in model uniaxial
ferroelectrics of lithium niobate (LN) and lithium tantalate (LT) family, and relaxor strontium …

Relaxor ferroelectrics (RF) are outstanding materials owing to their extraordinary dielectric,
electromechanical, and electro-optical properties. Although their massive applications, they …

Despite considerable effort, the microscopic origin of the electrocaloric (EC) effect in
ferroelectric relaxors is still intensely discussed. Ferroelectric relaxors typically display a …

Elastic and anelastic behaviour of single crystal and ceramic samples of Pb (Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3)
O 3 has been investigated at frequencies of∼ 0.1–1.2 MHz through the temperature interval …
