What is it about?
A relaxor ferroelectric ceramic is special, because its dielectric properties depend on the frequency of the oscillating electric field as well as the temperature.

Why is it important?
The article presents a simple approach towards understanding the dielectric properties in terms of the chemical composition of the relevant perovskite - type crystal structure.
Perspectives
This is an early example of a type of material with properties determined by its nanostructure. This work was carried out before the nanomaterial boom took off.
