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.

The measurements of SbSCl x I 1-x(x = 0.2) temperature dependent capacitance were carried out. The temperature of ferroelectric phase transition TC ≈340 K was measured experimentally. TC of SbSCl x I 1-x was calculated theoretically in anharmonic and harmonic approximations. TC was calculated in anharmonic approximation using temperature dependence of mean potential energy of Sb atoms as a function of the soft B1u symmetry normal coordinate along c(z)-axis. Moreover, TC was calculated in harmonic approximation using temperature dependence of vibrational thermodynamic functions (Helmholc free energy). TC dependence from unit cell parameters a, b and from mixture composition x was carried out.
