Abstract
The formation and development of bulk crystallochemical defects—mesoscopic clusters representing the nuclei of new phases—was studied in systems exhibiting concentration phase transitions. When a solid solution approaches a morphotropic region, the clusters exhibit a stepwise evolution involving several stages manifested by corresponding changes in macroscopic properties. The role of clusters in the development of the extreme electrophysical properties of the objects studied is discussed.
