Structural Origins of the Giant Piezoelectric Effect in Relaxor Ferroelectrics

这个项目解决了关于巨压电效应起源的基本问题。这些问题的解决将提高澳大利亚科学在这一领域的形象，并允许在修改现有材料和寻找新材料方面探索新的方向。它将扩大在这些材料的合成和衍射基础研究方面具有经验的人员库，这些材料将被列入大量的“智能”技术。在2006年新的澳大利亚研究反应堆OPAL和2007年新的澳大利亚同步加速器之前，对人员进行先进衍射方法的培训非常重要。

This project addresses fundamental questions about the origins of the Giant Piezoelectric Effect. The solution of these questions will be will raise the profile of Australian science in this area as well as allowing new directions to be explored both in modifying existing materials and seeking new ones. It will expand the pool of personnel with experience in the synthesis and diffraction based study of these materials which are slated for inclusion in large numbers of 'Smart' technologies. The training of personnel in advanced diffraction methods is important in the lead up to the new Australian research reactor OPAL in 2006 and the new Australian synchrotron in 2007.
