Domain Structure in Ferroelectrics and Related Materials

Download or read book Domain Structure in Ferroelectrics and Related Materials written by A. S. Sidorkin and published by Cambridge Int Science Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book examines domain structuring due to the loss of the initial phase stability in materials of finite size. It also covers aspects such as the behaviour of domain boundaries during their interaction with lattice defects, their structure in real ferroelectrically ordered materials, the effect of the lattice potential relief on their movement, and the flexural and translational components of their dynamics in ferroelectric crystals. The contribution of the domain boundaries to the dielectric properties of ferroelectrics and elastic properties of ferroelectric elastomers is evaluated.
