At present, the marketplace for professionals, researchers, and
graduate students in solid-state physics and materials science
lacks a book that presents a comprehensive discussion of
ferroelectrics and related materials in a form that is suitable for
experimentalists and engineers. This book proposes to present a
wide coverage of domain-related issues concerning these materials.
This coverage includes selected theoretical topics (which are
covered in the existing literature) in addition to a plethora of
experimental data which occupies over half of the book.
The book presents experimental findings and theoretical
understanding of ferroic (non-magnetic) domains developed during
the past 60 years. It addresses the situation by looking
specifically at bulk crystals and thin films, with a particular
focus on recently-developed microelectronic applications and
methods for observations of domains with techniques such as
scanning force microscopy, polarized light microscopy, scanning
optical microscopy, electron microscopy, and surface decorating
techniques.
"Domains in Ferroic Crystals and Thin Films" covers a large area
of material properties and effects connected with static and
dynamic properties of domains, which are extremely relevant to
materials referred to as ferroics. In other textbooks on solid
state physics, one large group of ferroics is customarily covered:
those in which magnetic properties play a dominant role. Numerous
books are specifically devoted to magnetic ferroics and cover a
wide spectrum of magnetic domain phenomena. In contrast, "Domains
in Ferroic Crystals and Thin Films" concentrates on domain-related
phenomena in nonmagnetic ferroics. These materials are still
inadequately represented in solid state physics textbooks and
monographs.
