Heterogeneous ferroelectric solid solutions: phases and domain states

The book deals with perovskite-type ferroelectric solid solutions for modern materials science and applications, solving problems of complicated heterophase/domain structures near the morphotropic phase boundary and applications to various systems with morphotropic phases. In this book domain state–interface diagrams are presented for the interpretation of heterophase states in perovskite-type ferroelectric solid solutions. It allows to describe the stress reliefin the presence of polydomain phases, the behavior of unit-cell parameters ofcoexisting phases and the effect of external electric fields. The novelty of the book consists in (i) the first systematization of data about heterophase states and their evolution in ferroelectric solid solutions (ii) the general interpretation of heterophase and domain structures at changing temperature, composition or electric field (iii) the complete analysis of interconnection domain structures, unit-cell parameters changes, heterophase structures and stressrelief. First book on phases and domain states in ferroelectric solid solutions Delivers a basic treatment in connection with practical applications Written by experts in the field INDICE: Preface. Crystallographic Aspects of Interfaces in Ferroelectrics and Related Materials. Two-Phase States. Phase Coexistence under an Electric Field E. Three-Phase States. Overlapping Structures and Transition Regions. Conclusions.
