      abstract = {This book addresses and analyzes the mechanisms  responsible for functionality of two technologically  relevant materials, giving emphasis on the relationship  between structural transitions and electromechanical  properties. The author investigates the atomic crystal  structure and microstructure by means of thermal analysis,  as well as diffraction and microscopy techniques. Electric  field-, temperature- and frequency-dependent  electromechanical properties are also described. Apart from  this correlation between structure and properties,  characterization was also performed to bridge between basic  research and optimization of application-oriented  parameters required for technological implementation. The  author proposes guidelines to the reader in order to  engineer functional properties in other piezoelectric  systems, as well as in other similar functional materials  with the perovskite structure.},
