Materials known as relaxor ferroelectrics have played an important role for decades in technologies such as ultrasound imaging, microphones, and sonar. Their unusual performance comes from the way atoms are arranged inside them. However, that internal structure has been extremely difficult to measure directly, leaving scientists to rely on incomplete models.
Now, researchers from MIT and collaborating institutions have, for the first time, mapped the three dim...
