Under magnetically quiet conditions, the outer plasmasphere is the equatorw ard boundary of the region in which high-latitude processes, such as convection, significantly affect the ionosphere. The low-latitude side of the ionospheric midlatitude trough is located in the plasmasphere. The behaviour of the nightside trough is influenced by field-aligned flows of plasma, as well as by convection drifts, thermospheric winds and particle precipitation. The modelling of field-aligned flow of thermal plasma at high latitudes (the polar wind) still presents problems. The composition of the background neutral atmosphere plays a role in causing the occasional dominance of He+ in the topside ionosphere. Penetration of magnetospheric electric fields into the outer plasmasphere can influence the rate of refilling of the upper reaches of the flux tubes.

Applications of above-coercive electric fields lead to domain switching of a large or global scale. Large scale switching model is proposed to deal with load-induced domains witching in experiment. Both a discussion of crack initiation via the stress intensity factor and a discussion of crack path stability via T-stress are presented. The theoretical predictions and the experimental data roughly coincide for crack initiation, propagation and stability phenomena. Attention is also extended to consider the effect of non-uniform ferro-elastic domain switching in the vicinity of a crack. The domain switching zone is divided into a saturated inner core and an active surrounding annulus. Toughening for ferroelectrics with different poling states is estimated via Reuss type approximation. Solutions obtained according to spherical and cylindrical inclusions cover the range of experimental data.
