An introduction to the phenomenological theory of ferroelectricity /

An Introduction to the Phenomenological Theory of Ferroelectricity covers topics about the basis and derivation of the macroscopic or phenomenological theory of the elastic, dielectric and thermal properties of crystals as applied in the field of ferroelectricity. The monograph discusses the elastic...
