This chapter focuses on recent studies of ferroelectrics, where large-scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using first-principles-based force fields played a central role in revealing important physics inaccessible to direct density functional theory (DFT) calculations but critical for developing physically-based free energy functional for coarse-grained phase-field-type simulations. After reviewing typical atomistic potentials of ferroelectrics for MD simulations, the chapter describes a progressive theoretical framework that combines DFT, MD, and a mean-field theory. It then focuses on relaxor ferroelectrics. By examining the spatial and temporal polarization correlations in prototypical relaxor ferroelectrics with million-atom MD simulations and novel analysis techniques, this chapter shows that the widely accepted model of polar nanoregions embedded in a non-polar matrix is incorrect for Pb-based relaxors. Rather, the unusual properties of theses relaxor ferroelectrics stem from the presence of a multi-domain state with extremely small domain sizes (2–10 nanometers), giving rise to a greater flexibility for polarization rotations and the ultrahigh dielectric and piezoelectric responses. Finally, this chapter discusses the challenges and opportunities for multiscale simulations of ferroelectric materials.

The THz dynamics of ionic liquids based on tetraalkylammonium cations were investigated by a combined usage of inelastic neutron scattering (INS), Raman, and far-infrared (FIR) spectroscopies and the power spectrum calculated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.
