CBN crystals show a one- and a two-dimensionally modulated modification. The former is isotypic with orthorhombic Ba4Na2Nb10O30and the latter with the tetragonal tungsten bronze type of crystal structure. The orthorhombic form irreversibly transforms to the tetragonal polymorph at the ferroelectric phase transition near 603 K. Orthorhombic and tetragonal CBN24 slightly differ in the distribution of the Ba and Ca atoms over the incompletely filled Me1 and Me2 sites. The tetragonal symmetry is further broken in orthorhombic CBN24 by different amplitudes of the positional modulations of O atoms which are symmetrically equivalent in the TTB structure. A similar orthorhombic phase of CBN31 could be obtained by quenching from 1473 K.

Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) based relaxor ferroelectric polymers show great potential for applications in transducers, sensors and artificial muscles for their excellent electrostrictive properties.

The evolution of the crystal structures as a function of temperature of the new solid- solution KTiOPO4 (KTP) isomorphs, namely K1-xNbxTi1-xOPO4 and K1-xSbxTi1-xOPO4 have been studied by neutron powder diffraction below and above the ferroelectric phase transition temperatures. On the basis of the experimental data obtained the cation distribution, among the sublattices of this structure, and the distortion of the framework at the phase transition, have been discussed. The possible correlation between the non-linear optical properties and the dominant structural features tailored by compositional variation has also been studied.
