A bibliographical review of the high pressure studies of ferroelectric phase transitions

A brief review of the various high pressure studies on the phase transitions in ferroelectric crystals carried out over the past two decades is presented. The theoretical framework in which high pressure studies have to be viewed is given. The pressure data of ferroelectric crystals are organized in the form of tables. High pressure spectroscopic and structural studies are included. The review contains a bibliography of over two hundred references.
