A variational model of ferroelectric rank-2 laminate domain structures
The equilibrium domain arrangements of ferroelectric single crystals are significantly affected by loads and boundary conditions. Domain structures evolve towards a minimum energy state. In this paper, a variational method, which minimizes a functional based on free energy and dissipation, is develo...
