Abstract

Making work A class of materials known as ‘ferroelectric relaxors’ shows promise for applications in telecommunications, ultrasonics and medicine thanks to their ability to convert electrical energy into mechanical work. The origins of this ‘giant electromechanical effect’ have now been traced to the existence of critical points in the phase behaviour of these systems.
