Ferroelectricity and Ferroelectric Phase Transition

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Ferroelectricity at the Nanoscale

Part of the book series: NanoScience and Technology ((NANO))

Abstract

Ultrathin crystalline films offer the possibility of exploring phase transitions in the crossover region between two and three dimensions. Second-order ferromagnetic phase transitions have been observed in monolayer magnetic films.
