Abstract

This paper is a review article that emphasizes that dynamical processes of electromagnetic wave interaction with ferroelectrics proceed in such a way that characteristic frequencies of various excitations related to polarization lie in microwave range: i) a soft mode frequency in a number of displacive ferroelectrics on approaching the Curie temperature drops into the millimeter wave range or splits to components, the lower of which lies at microwaves and explains the static permittivity; ii) a frequency of relaxation soft mode in a number of order-disorder ferroelectrics lies also in the microwave range, and iii) relaxation of permittivity in relaxors and dipolar glasses also occurs at microwaves. Results of the complete dielectric spectra of the fundamental dielectric dispersion in the frequency range 1 MHz to 1012 Hz and its microscopic description in the most characteristic materials are presented and discussed.
