Abstract: 
The book develops the modern theory of ferroelectricity in terms of soft modes and lattice dynamics and also describes modern techniques of measurement, including X-ray, optic, and neutron scattering, infra-red absorption, and magnetic resonance. It includes a discussion of the related phenomena of antiferroelectricity, pyroelectricity, and ferroelasticity and seconds on domains, thin films, ceramics, and polymers, leading on to a comprehensive survey of potential and actual device capabilities for pyroelectric detection, memories, display, and modulation. It should provide an authoritative account for those engaged in research or graduate ferroelectric or pyroelectric devices.

Origin of ferroelectricity in perovskite oxides

Ronald E. Cohen
- 09 Jul 1992 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report results of electronic-structure calculations on two classic examples of ferroelectric perovskites, BaTiO3 and PbTiO2, and demonstrate that hybridization between the titanium 3d states and the oxygen 2p states is essential for ferroelectivity.
