Abstract

A review is made of experimental studies of the critical phenomena in ferroelectric phase transitions of the order-disorder type.The static critical indices obtained so far agree well with those given by the mean field theory except in the extreme vicinity of the critical point. Recent observations on the critical x-ray scattering, the critical slowing-down and the anomalies in transport processes are surveyed and their significance is discussed qualitatively.
