The intermediate monoclinic (M) phase in Pb(ZrxTi1-x)O3 (PZT) inbetween rhombohedral (R) and tetragonal (T) displacive variants is considered as a high profile example of a more general phenomenon in which low symmetry intermediate phases are stabilised between higher symmetry displacive variants. In the case of the M phase, the order parameter is dominated by polarisation but similar situations are reported where the order parameter is dominated by strain, amplitude of octahedral rotation or combinations thereof. This article presents examples of intermediate phases and discusses their structures and functional properties.
