The ceramics of new solid solutions of Ag 1- x Na x NbO 3 (ANN) have been sintered for the whole concentration range. Low frequency dielectric investigations (120-800 K) and DTA investigations (290-600 K) revealed a series of phase transitions. Two predominant aspects of the Na substitution have been found. The first…

We discuss the possibility that, besides roughening, a vicinal surface could display preroughening (PR), and consider the possible mechanisms for its promotion. Within the framework of a terrace-step-kink model, it turns out that a PR transition is possible, and could be induced by a short-range repulsion between para…

We propose that a specific spatial configuration of lattice sites that energetically favor {\it 3+} or {\it 4+} Mn ions in moderately doped manganites constitutes approximately a spatially random two-energy-level system. Such an effect results in a mechanism of metal-insulator transitions that appears to be different…
