  • Abstract
    An intermediate orthorhombic ferroelectric phase has been found in oriented crystals of (0.92)Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3 -0.08PbTiO3 (PZN-PT 92/8). The lattice parameters of this intermediate ferroelectric state have been shown to be equal to those predicted by the adaptive martensite theory. A hierarchy of symmetries is believed to exist on the meso-scale which are due to symmetry reductions by domain averaging
