Abstract

It is shown experimentally that the electrical response to temperature changes by a polydomain ferroelectric, as recorded in measurements of the electric dipole and quadrupole moments, is quite different during heating and during cooling. A possible reason for this anomalous temperature hysteresis in the response is hysteresis in the rearrangement of the domain structure, which has a number of metastable states. The investigations are carried out on six ferroelectrics of different types.
