Abstract
A general survey about the characteristic properties of ferroelectrics is given first. This is followed by a discussion of some recent developments in the field of ferroelectrics. They are:
-
(1)
Nucleation of domain and domain wall motion during switching of a ferroelectric crystal, in particular of sidewise motion of the walls and the switching in extremely high electric fields.
-
(2)
Relaxation of the dielectric constant at high frequencies and the infrared reflectivity of BaTiO3, which in connection with the theory of Cochran leads to a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in ferroelectricity.
-
(3)
Behaviour of the optical absorption edge of a ferroelectric material in an applied electric field.
-
(4)
Some problems connected with the space charge in ferroelectrics, in particular, the influence of space charge on switching and on stability of the material.
