Domains in ferroelectrics were considered to be well understood by the middle of the last
century: They were generally rectilinear, and their walls were Ising-like. Their simplicity …

Ferroelectrics have a spontaneous electrical polarization that is arranged into domains and
can be reversed by an externally-applied field. This high versatility makes them useful in …

A method for measuring and mapping displacement fields and strain fields from high-
resolution electron microscope (HREM) images has been developed. The method is based …

Abstract Domain walls may play an important role in future electronic devices, given their
small size as well as the fact that their location can be controlled. Here, we report the …

This review covers important advances in recent years in the physics of thin-film ferroelectric
oxides, the strongest emphasis being on those aspects particular to ferroelectrics in thin-film …

With much excitement and great enthusiasm I introduce this thorough treatise on the major
aspects of domain and domain wall phenomena in ferroics, mostly ferroelectrics, a major …

Large elastic nonlinearities can lead to elastic hysteresis behavior, which defines
ferroelasticity in analogy to its sister ferroics: ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity …

We have investigated the atomistic structure of the 180 and 90 domain boundaries in the
ferroelectric perovskite compound PbTiO 3 using a first-principles ultrasoft-pseudopotential …

Ferroelectrics are materials exhibiting spontaneous electric polarization due to dipoles
formed by displacements of charged ions inside the crystal unit cell. Their exceptional …

Piezoelectric and ferroelectric materials are widely used in many areas of technology and
science. The sensors based on the piezoelectric effect transform mechanical signals into …
