Abstract

The relation between the reversal of ferroelectric domains and the change of phase by nucleation and growth of other systems is pointed out. The suggestion is made that the relative simplicity of the ferroelectric system together with the large number of observational techniques available make it suitable for testing nucleation theories. An outline is given of the current methods of observation and understanding of the nucleation and kinetics of domains in single crystals, with particular reference to the ionic materials; a discussion is then given of the relation of this to the technologically important ceramic materials, about which much less is understood.
