Topolov V.Yu. Heterogeneous Ferroelectric Solid Solutions: Phases and Domain States

2nd Edition. — Springer International Publishing AG, 2018. — 201 p. — (Springer Series in Materials Science 151). — ISBN: 3319755196.This book systematizes data on the heterophase states and their evolution in perovskite-type ferroelectric solid solutions. It also provides a general interpretation of heterophase and domain structures on changing temperature, composition or electric field, as well as the complete analysis of interconnections domain structures, unit-cell parameters changes, heterophase structures and stress relief. The description of numerous examples of heterophase states in lead-free ferroelectric solid solutions is also included.Crystallographic Aspects of Interfaces in Ferroelectrics and Related Materials
