Abstract

The behavior of lead zinc niobate, a relaxor ferroelectric, in electric fields has been studied by dielectric, optical transmittance, and small-angle light scattering techniques. A field-induced transition from an averaged cubic to macrodomain ferroelectric phase has been found. A comparison is made with the properties of the phase induced in lead magnoniobate, a classical relaxor.
