Although the bibliography contains over 900 entries, there are inevitably some important
references that I have missed. Furthermore, with a few exceptions, the bibliography does not …

The search for improved piezoelectric materials is based on the morphotropic phase
boundaries (MPB) between ferroelectric phases with different crystal symmetry and …

Spontaneous strains for the alpha<--> beta transition in quartz were determined from lattice
parameter data collected by X-ray powder diffraction and neutron powder diffraction over the …

Landau theory has been used to develop expressions for the elastic anomalies that
accompany octahedral tilting transitions in perovskites that are associated with the M and R …

Elastic softening in the paraelastic phases of Ba 1− x Sr x TiO 3 is largest near the transition
temperatures and decreases on heating smoothly over extended temperature ranges …

Precursor elastic effects are investigated in a displacive anharmonic spring model and
shown to extend greatly into the paraelastic phase. Weak precursor effects can be detected …

Resonant ultrasound spectroscopy has been used to characterize elastic softening and
anelastic dissipation processes associated with the transition in single crystal and ceramic …

Ultrasonic spectroscopy is a technique widely used in solid-state physics, materials science,
and geology that utilizes acoustic waves to determine fundamental physical properties of …

Elastic and anelastic behaviour of single crystal and ceramic samples of Pb (Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3)
O 3 has been investigated at frequencies of∼ 0.1–1.2 MHz through the temperature interval …

Following the proposal by Müller, Berlinger and Tosatti on a possible coherent quantum
regime in SrTiO 3 below 40 K we have performed elastic measurements to look for possible …
