Since the discovery in 1921 of ferroelectric properties in Rochelle
salt by Valasek, no new ferroelectric material was found until
Busch and Scherrer in Switzerland in 1935 discovered
ferroelectricity in Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP). However,
during the Second World War, researchers in the US in 1943
discovered ferroelectric materials such as BaTiO3 having
ferroelectric properties well above room temperature, that led to
an explosion of research after the war in Western and Central
Europe, Russia, and Japan, because of their promising and potential
applications.This book gives an overview of relevant experimental
and theoretical work in ferroelectricity. It is organized into
three Sections, corresponding to three time periods. The first
(1921-1960) includes early work by Valasek, works by Busch and
Scherrer, Mason and Mattias, Shirane and Takeda, ending with
theoretical work by Cochran on crystal stability and the soft mode
theory of ferroelectricity. The second one (1961-2002) includes a
number of experimental and theoretical publications on
ferroelectric materials and ferroelectric transitions. The number
of international meetings began to increase, and the number of
papers increased exponentially. New subfields at that time included
ferroelectric liquid crystals, thin films, dipolar glasses and
relaxors.The last and final section (2002-2021) includes more
recent publications on fundamental structural studies, neutron
diffraction work on PZT, quantum tunneling and zero-point energy in
ferroelectrics, investigations on the anomalous temperature
dependence behavior of liquid water and other recent
developments.The book will be a useful compendium on ferroelectrics
for materials scientists, and/or PhD graduate students on
ferroelectrics all around the world.
