THEORY OF COMPATIBLE DOMAIN ARRANGEMENTS IN FERROELECTRIC THIN FILMS

Thin films of single crystal ferroelectric material are constrained by their substrate to a fixed state of macroscopic inplane strain. Domain structures conform to minimize the overall energy of the system by matching the imposed strain conditions in an average sense. We study low-energy equilibrium...
