paraelectric
Adjective
Meaning
paraelectric (not comparable)
Of, pertaining to, or exhibiting paraelectricity
Examples
Many ferroelectrics lose their piezoelectric properties above Tc completely, because their paraelectric phase has centrosymmetric crystallographic structure.
Some materials, known as paraelectric materials, Chiang, Y. et al.: Physical Ceramics, John Wiley & Sons 1997, New York show a more enhanced nonlinear polarization (see figure).
