摘要
The kinetics of the ferroelectric phase transition in Rb2ZnCl4, at about 190 K has been investigated by time-resolved neutron scattering. Observing the time dependence of first- and third-order satellite spectra, it is found that the structural changes associated with the field-induced transformation proceed on a millisecond time scale. The application of a periodically varying strong electric field leads to the formation of unusual non-equilibrium states which are characterised by internal strains.
