Abstract

In this chapter we consider examples of heterogeneous SCs of relaxor-FE SCs and discuss conditions for the stress relief in them. Heterogeneity is associated with overlapping structures (i.e., the presence of two different crystal structures) and transition regions (e.g., narrow bands near domain or interphase boundaries where changes in unit-cell parameters take place). These heterogeneous states differ from those observed in macroscopically large samples at the phase coexistence or at the interaction between polydomain (twinned) regions. In this context, the study of possible versions of the unit-cell variations becomes important for an interpretation of experimental results and broadens knowledge in the field of heterogeneous FE materials.
