Theory of phase transitions in second-order ferroelectric films: effects of surfaces and surface-induced stresses on polarization

The Landau-Devonshire theory is used to study the inter-relationship between polarization and stress in a second-order ferroelectric thin film, where both polarization and stress are in-plane. The intrinsic effects of surfaces and surface-induced stresses on polarization are considered by the introd...
