Ferroelectricity. Definitions.
Ferroelectric Materials. A ferroelectric material is
a material that exhibits, over some range of
temperature, a spontaneous electric polarization
that can be reversed or reoriented by application
of an electric field.

To find the equilibrium solution we need to
find the minima of FP by solving the equation: 0

Ignoring higher terms we can get the linear solution:

In case of b>) (C>0 also) We will
have the solution for second order
phase transition with two
equilibrium points –p0 and p0. Both
these states are equivalent
