The phenomenology of Pb(B,B$ {\prime}$)O$_{3}$, perovskite based relaxor ferroelectrics is reviewed, with emphasis on the relationship between chemical short
First principles phase diagram calculations were performed for the system NaCl-KCL. Planewave pseudopotential calculations of formation energies were used as a
Organic thin films, especially conjugated molecular assemblies, have attracted considerable attention as candidates for electrically-active components in
