商品描述
This book explores ferroic crystals, focusing on the intricate relationship between their macroscopic properties and microscopic phenomena. Ferroic materials, characterized by hysteresis cycles that link magnetization, polarization, and deformation to their respective fields, are pivotal in understanding and advancing various technological applications. For the first time, this volume presents experimental evidence directly linking macroscopic responses to microscopic interface phenomena--domains, domain walls, and phase fronts--offering unprecedented clarity into the inner workings of ferroic systems. Simultaneous observations of domains, susceptibility measurements, and gamma diffractometry reveal how these microscopic structures govern the shape and coercive fields of hysteresis cycles, especially at first-order phase transitions. The book bridges the gap between macroscopic measurements and nanoscopic insights, highlighting how domain interactions influence susceptibility through both short- and long-range effects, including freezing processes, isolated walls, and events occurring within the walls themselves. It further demonstrates how domain wall interactions--often overlooked in theoretical models--play a critical role in the reversal of ferroic order parameters. Special attention is given to the interplay between ferroelasticity and ferroelectricity, delving into energy dynamics, phase transitions, and thermodynamic models. Notably, the manipulation of chemical, mechanical, and electrostatic energies in first-order transitions is shown to affect the shape of phase fronts, which may appear as planes, "factory roof" geometries, or even fractal patterns, and may include periodic inclusions of one phase in another. With clear explanations, visual demonstrations, and practical experimental insights, the book caters to researchers and students aiming to deepen their understanding of these phenomena. Designed for both seasoned scientists and budding researchers, it integrates experimental data, simulation results, and theoretical models to provide a holistic understanding of ferroic crystals, their behaviors, and their applications in modern science and technology.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書探討了鐵電晶體，重點關注其宏觀性質與微觀現象之間的複雜關係。鐵電材料的特徵是滯後循環，將磁化、極化和變形與其各自的場連結，這對於理解和推進各種技術應用至關重要。
本卷首次呈現了實驗證據，直接將宏觀響應與微觀界面現象——領域、領域牆和相前沿——聯繫起來，為鐵電系統的內部運作提供了前所未有的清晰度。對領域的同時觀察、敏感度測量和伽瑪衍射測量揭示了這些微觀結構如何支配滯後循環的形狀和矯頑場，特別是在一級相變時。
本書彌合了宏觀測量與納米級洞察之間的鴻溝，突顯了領域相互作用如何通過短程和長程效應影響敏感度，包括冷凍過程、孤立牆和發生在牆內部的事件。它進一步展示了領域牆相互作用——在理論模型中常被忽視——在鐵電有序參數的反轉中扮演著關鍵角色。
特別關注鐵彈性與鐵電性之間的相互作用，深入探討能量動力學、相變和熱力學模型。值得注意的是，在一級相變中，化學、機械和靜電能量的操控被顯示會影響相前沿的形狀，這些形狀可能呈現為平面、「工廠屋頂」幾何形狀，甚至是分形圖案，並可能包括一相中周期性包含另一相。
本書以清晰的解釋、視覺演示和實用的實驗見解，滿足研究人員和學生加深對這些現象理解的需求。設計上適合經驗豐富的科學家和新進研究者，整合了實驗數據、模擬結果和理論模型，以提供對鐵電晶體及其行為和在現代科學與技術中應用的全面理解。
作者簡介
Professor of the Joseph Fourier University (Honorary Professor of the Grenoble Alps University), Jean Bornarel was one of the first to understand ferro-elasticity existence at a time when only ferroelectricity was known. His activities in different fields persuaded him that it was necessary to propose bridges between them. In this book, bonds between ferroelectrics and ferro-elastics on the one hand and between nano, micro and macro levels on the other.
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
喬瑟夫·傅里葉大學的教授（格勒諾布爾阿爾卑斯大學的名譽教授）讓·博納雷爾（Jean Bornarel）是最早理解鐵彈性（ferro-elasticity）存在的人之一，當時人們僅知道鐵電性（ferroelectricity）。他在不同領域的活動使他堅信有必要在這些領域之間建立橋樑。在本書中，探討了鐵電材料與鐵彈性材料之間的聯繫，以及納米（nano）、微觀（micro）和宏觀（macro）層次之間的聯繫。
