Viva Books Domain Structure in Ferroelectrics and Related Materials 2008 Edition by A. S. Sidorkin
This book examines domain structuring due to the loss of the initial phase stability in materials of finite size. It also covers aspects such as behaviour of domain boundaries during their interaction of 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.About Author:Alexander Stepanovich Sidorkin is a Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor, the Director of the Research and Education Center ‘Wave Processes in inhomogeneous and Non-Linear Media', Head of the Experimental Department of the Voronezh State University, a member of the Scientific Council of the Russian Academy of Sciences on Physics of Ferroelectrics and Dielectrics.
