Abstract
Generalized are results of the crystallographic description of the heterophase ferroelectric solid-solution systems wherein the domain and interphase boundaries obey conditions for complete stress relief (i.e. planar boundaries being parallel to zero-net-strain planes) and important links between specific domain types and phase contents are described for compositions near the morphotropic phase boundary. The schematic of the study of heterophase states in ferroelectric solid solutions is put forward to show the important role of physical and crystallographic factors in the phase coexistence observed in ferroelectric solid solutions and related materials.
Different as are the kinds of properties investigated in the old and the new sciences, the methods followed differ in a still greater degree… The whole tendency is towards generalization.
