Dielectric, thermal, electrocaloric, elastic, optical, and electromechanical properties of three ferroelectrics with diffuse phase transition (PLZT 8/65/35 ceramics, lead magnesium niobate and strontium barium niobate single crystals) me investigated in dependence on temperature and electric field strength. It is shown that a polar phase can be induced by a n electric field within the nonpolar phase and vice versa, depending on whether the temperature is above or below Tb < T , . Analogies to stress-induced martensic transformations are emphasized. Dielektrische, thermische, elektrokalorische, elastische, optische und elektromechanische Eigenschaften von drei Ferroelektrika mit diffuser Phasenumwandlung (PLZT 8/65/35-Keramik, Bleimagnesiumniobat-und Strontiumbariumniobat-Einkristalle) werden in Abhingigkeit von der Temperatur und der elektrischen Feldstarke untersucht. Es wird gezeigt, daB sich eine polare Phase durch ein elektrisches Feld innerhalb der unpolaren induzieren laDt und umgekehrt eine unpolare in einer polaren, je nachdem ob die Temperatur ober-oder unterhalb T t < TC liegt. Auf Analogien zu spannungsinduzierten martensitischen Transformationen wird hingewiesen.
Precision x-ray studies. polarization and electrocaloric measurements have been made with PST-PSN solid solutions in the temperature range -180-+8O"C. The large electrocaloric effect AT = 1.0-1.7"C is due to both particular features of structure rearrangement at the 1-order phase transition in the materials and a high ion ordering in sublattice B of the perovskite structure ABO,.
