Phase inhomogeneity of otherwise chemically homogenous electronic systems is an essential ingredient leading to fascinating functional properties, such as high- T c superconductivity in cuprates, colossal magnetoresistance in manganites and giant electrostriction in relaxors. In these materials dist...
