Abstract The origin of relaxor ferroelectric behavior is complex, and is likely to include both compositional as well as structural order and disorder. Non-crystallographic methods of structural study by pulsed neutron and synchrotron X-ray scattering applied to these solids reveal mas-sive local displacive disorder and short range compositional order in these solids. Examples of such local structural complexities in PMN and PLZT are discussed. Key Words: Neutron scatteringsynchrotron radiationpair-distribution functionrelaxor ferroelectrics
