The electric field dependence of the Curie temperature of a ferroelectric crystal in its paraelectric phase is investigated from the Silverman–Joseph Hamiltonian augmented with fourth-order phonon coordinates using the temperature dependent double-time Green's function technique. It is shown that the Curie temperature shifts to a lower value by the application of an electric field. This result agrees with the recent Raman scattering data of Worlock and Fleury for SrTiO3.

A modified two sub-lattice pseudospin-lattice coupled mode model of Mitsui et al [Phys. Rev., 111 (1958) 1259] by adding third, fourth order phonon anharmonic interaction and external electric field terms has been applied to ferroelectric triglycine sulphate crystal. Electric field dependence of ferroelectric, dielectric and acoustical properties has been studied. With the help of double time temperature dependent Green’s function method, expressions for shift, width, soft mode frequency, dielectric constant, loss tangent and acoustic attenuation have been derived. Numerically calculations have been made and results have been compared with experimental data reported by Bye et al [Ferroelectrics 4 (1974) 243] and Shreekumar et al [Ferroelectrics 160 (1994) 23] for TGS crystal and a good agreement has been observed.

A semi-phenomenological model of the interaction of positrons with atoms is outlined, and some model properties—enhancement factors, effective mass, and effective charge—are calculated using a local density approximation. These properties are used with a one parameter polarization potential to predict the electric field dependence and the temperature dependence of the positron annihilation rate in argon gas. Comparison of these predictions with experimental data shows good agreement for the electric field dependence, but the predicted temperature dependent effect is less than published experimental results. The model is also applied to helium, with unsatisfactory results, and a prediction of the electric field dependence of the positron annihilation rate in krypton is made.

Abstract The effect of an external electric field on the total fluorescence of solute molecules is studied up to fourth order theoretically, and is checked experimentally with 4´-N,N-dimethylamino- 4-nitrostilbene in dioxane at room temperature.
