✦ Synopsis

Spontaneous polarisation P, and tilt angle 0 of induced ferroelectric Sy phases in mixed systems were measured as a function of mole fraction xo. Both quantities depend non-linearly on the composition of the mixture, but the quantity PO= P,/sin 0 shows a linear dependence on xo. A new material constant, the polarisation power 6r=dP,,(xo)/d&, is defined.
