Secondary discontinuous recrystallization as a manifestation of the effect of self-organization in niobate ferroelectric ceramics

The use of a synergetic approach in interpreting the results of experimental investigations of micro-structure of ferroelectric ceramics based on niobates of alkali metals is discussed. The observed effect of a secondary discontinuous recrystallization is considered in terms of self-organization. It was established that by varying technological conditions one could eliminate this phenomenon from the process of recrystallization of the niobate ferroelectric ceramics and, thereby, improve their properties.
