Relaxor ferroelectrics – open questions<br />

Atomistic nature of relaxor behaviour<br />

Can we tune relaxor properties<br />

by tailoring polar nanoclusters?<br />

nanoclusters?<br />

• Which is the driving force for nucleation of polar nanoclusters at HT?<br />

• What is the reason for suppression of ferroelectric long-range ordering at LT?<br />

local electric fields due to charge imbalance<br />

local elastic fields due to local structural distortions<br />
