Nanoscale periodic domain patterns in tetragonal ferroelectrics: A phase-field study
Ferroelectrics form domain patterns that minimize their energy subject to imposed boundary conditions. In a linear, constrained theory, that neglects domain wall energy, periodic domain patterns in the form of multi-rank laminates can be identified as minimum energy states. However, when these lami...
