Hello,
I am wondering what is qualitatively speaking the effect that causes a material to be paraelectric? I do know that it strengthens an applied external electric field with alignment of electric dipoles. What is the mechanism that causes this alignment of dipoles? In a traditional dielectric material the external electric field creates alignment of dipoles in the opposite direction compared to a paraeletric material, so that the material weakens the external field.
Thank you,
Tatu
