Abstract

Features of the phase coexistence in relaxor-ferroelectric single crystals under the electric field are discussed by taking into account results of the crystallographic description. The electric field is applied along one of the perovskite-cell directions, [001], [011] or [111]. Different scenarios of stress relief in the presence of complex domain structures and morphotropic phases are proposed by taking into account peculiarities of the unit-cell behaviour. The role of the intermediate polydomain monoclinic phase in forming the various heterophase states is described in the context of effective stress relief in different variants of the phase coexistence.
