Ferroelectricity of trimethylammonium bromide was discovered near room temperature, which undergoes a first-order paraelectric–ferroelectric phase transition at the Curie temperature around 286 K.

Abstract The predictions obtained with a thermodynamical method are compared with experimental results. Several materials which pass a ferroelectric phase transition of first or second order are investigated. The predictions correspond well with the experimentaly determined qualitative and quantitative features as to the field and temperature dependence. Finally, extraordinary strain-field curves are predicted and proved.

ABSTRACTThe macroscopic polarization of ferroelectric thin films was studied by Monte Carlo simulations using a Transverse Ising Model Hamiltonian with four-spins interactions. The dependence of the ferroelectric phase transition temperature, Tc, on the thickness of the film was obtained resulting in a shifting of Tc towards lower temperatures and a change from first-order to second-order phase transition as the thickness of the film is reduced. Comparison between the surface and internal order was carried out by the calculation of layer-averaged polarizations as a function of the sample temperature and the surface interaction parameters. These comparisons show that increasing disorder at the surface can be reverted by increasing the four-spins surface interactions.

Abstract Electric permittivity measurments as functions of temperature at constant dc electric field and as functions of the dc electric field at constant temperatures in the paraelectric phase have been performed for DMAGaS crystal. The changes of the permittivity maximum with the electric field intensity evidence the first-order character of the ferroelectric phase transition at Tc1. The field dependence of the permittivity ε(E) in the paraelectric phase is discussed, using the classical electric equation of state. A method for the determination of the corresponding coefficients is proposed. The obtained B and C coefficients, together with double hysteresis loop observed above Tc1 prove the first-order character of the ferroelectric phase transition in DMAGaS crystal.
