Control of microchemical ordering in relaxor ferroelectrics and related compounds

Abstract A review is given of some of the ways to control microchemical domains (due to ordering on the B-sites) in relaxor ferroelectrics and related compounds. Depending on the system, ordering can he controlled by heat treatment, chemical composition and stoichiometry. Specific examples are given of both thermally- and chemically-induced ordering in relaxor ferroelectric and perovskite-related materials.
