Ferroelastic Materials (IOP ebooks) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book offers a comprehensive introduction to ferroelastic materials, their phase transitions and their structures. It explores how domain walls respond to electric fields, including recent research describing these movements through the concept of avalanches.

It presents new insights into the unique properties of ferroelastic domain walls, such as electrical conductivity, polarity and magnetism. These phenomena are examined from both theoretical and experimental perspectives, with a focus on how surfaces can influence their expression.

A chapter is dedicated to martensitic phase transitions and the growing interest in ferroelasticity within organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites is also examined.

This book is an essential resource for researchers and advanced students interested in the evolving science of ferroelastic materials and their role in future technologies.

Key Features:

• Offers a comprehensive overview of the field of ferroelastic materials
• Provides a recent description of the behaviour of domain walls under an applied field: avalanches
• Covers the most up to date research on functionality of domain walls in ferroelastic materials
• Provides a perspective on the importance of ferroelasticity to understand some properties of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites
