Ferroic materials, characterized by hysteresis cycles that link magnetization, polarization, and deformation to their respective fields, are pivotal in understanding and advancing various technological applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"585\" data-end=\"1072\"\u003eFor the first time, this volume presents experimental evidence directly linking macroscopic responses to microscopic interface phenomena—domains, domain walls, and phase fronts—offering unprecedented clarity into the inner workings of ferroic systems. Simultaneous observations of domains, susceptibility measurements, and gamma diffractometry reveal how these microscopic structures govern the shape and coercive fields of hysteresis cycles, especially at first-order phase transitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1074\" data-end=\"1516\"\u003eThe book bridges the gap between macroscopic measurements and nanoscopic insights, highlighting how domain interactions influence susceptibility through both short- and long-range effects, including freezing processes, isolated walls, and events occurring within the walls themselves. It further demonstrates how domain wall interactions—often overlooked in theoretical models—play a critical role in the reversal of ferroic order parameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1518\" data-end=\"1992\"\u003eSpecial attention is given to the interplay \u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003ebetween ferroelasticity and ferroelectricity\u003c\/span\u003e, delving into energy dynamics, phase transitions, and thermodynamic models. Notably, the manipulation of chemical, mechanical, and electrostatic energies in first-order transitions is shown to affect the shape of phase fronts, which may appear as planes, “factory roof” geometries, or even fractal patterns, and may include periodic inclusions of one phase in another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1994\" data-end=\"2449\"\u003eWith clear explanations, visual demonstrations, and practical experimental insights, the book caters to researchers and students aiming to deepen their understanding of these phenomena. Designed for both seasoned scientists and budding researchers, it integrates experimental data, simulation results, and theoretical models to provide a holistic understanding of ferroic crystals, their behaviors, and their applications in modern science and technology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2025-09-27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031980985\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-98099-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 385\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44309222097036,"sku":"9783031980985","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031980985.jpg?v=1776450468","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031980985","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
