TLDR
A relaxor-ferroelectric phase transition takes place in PLZT (6-7)/65/35 at temperature lower than the temperature of the dispersive dielectric constant maximum.
Abstract
Dielectric and light scattering measurements are performed in lanthanum modified lead zirconate titanate (PLZT) (6–8)/65/35 hot-pressed ceramics in order to refine the phase diagram. A relaxor-ferroelectric phase transition takes place in PLZT (6–7)/65/35 at temperature lower than the temperature of the dispersive dielectric constant maximum. At this temperature the size of polar regions "a" essentially increases up to a>λ (=0.63 µ m). The appearence of ferroelectric long-range order in PLZT with decreased concentration of La ions is explained by larger coupling between ferroelectrically active BO6 octahedrons due to the smaller concentration of defects and higher dielectric constant.

Electron emission from ferroelectrics

TL;DR: The electron emission from ferroelectrics (FEE) is an unconventional electron emission effect as discussed by the authors, which is a tunneling emission current which screens uncompensated polarization charges, generated by a deviation of macroscopic spontaneous polarization from its equilibrium state under pyroelectric effect, piezoelectric effect, or polarization switching.

Glassy polarization behavior of relaxor ferroelectrics

TL;DR: The polarization behavior of La-modified lead zirconate titanate relaxors has been investigated for various electrical and thermal histories and the magnitude of both polarizations were found to be equal above a critical temperature.
