In this chapter “General introduction to ferroelectrics” we contribute the basic idea of the fundamental properties of ferroelectrics. We focus on the following properties in the chapter such as basic introduction, classification, ferroelectric phase transitions, spontaneous polarization, local field, dielectric properties, polarizability, thermodynamics of ferroelectricity and applications of ferroelectrics. Ferroelectric materials are unusual dielectric which possesses reversible spontaneous electric polarization which can be reversed by application of stress or electric field which exhibit a range of properties. These properties are widely used in the today’s scientific and industrial technology. The large number of areas due to their peculiar and interesting properties such as high permittivity capacitors, ferroelectric non-volatile FeRAM memories, pyroelectric sensors, piezoelectric and transducers, electrooptic and optoelectronic devices, etc.

AbstractA design approach to ferroelectric materials critically depends on an accurate description of the microscopic features associated with paraelectric-to-ferroelectric phase transitions. The fine structures of domains, domain walls, and domain boundary dynamics as well as a precise understanding of local atomic displacements can be accessed using adequate potential models based on ab initio calculations and advanced molecular dynamics simulations. For BaTiO3 a complex scenario of microscopic domains in the paraelectric (cubic) phase and in the ferroelectric (tetragonal) phase is obtained. Therein, the static and dynamic role of domain/antidomain features, as well as their dependence on Ti displacements around the <111> manifold is clearly emerging.

This paper considers the mechanochemical synthesis of advanced electroceramic material with a perovskite structure as well as this method as an effective way for modifying the properties of BaTiO3by substitution of foreign ions. Dielectric properties mainly para-ferroelectric phase transitions in Ba1-xSrxTiO3solid solutions (0.0 x 0.6) are presented.

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite materials have attracted tremendous attention as a key material in various optoelectronic devices. Distinctive optoelectronic properties, such as a tunable energy band position, long carrier diffusion lengths, and high charge carrier mobility, have allowed rapid progress in various perovskite-based optoelectronic devices (solar cells, photodetectors, light emitting diodes (LEDs), and lasers). Interestingly, the developments of each field are based on different characteristics of perovskite materials which are suitable for their own applications. In this review, we provide the fundamental properties of perovskite materials and categorize the usages in various optoelectronic applications. In addition, the prerequisite factors for those applications are suggested to understand the recent progress of perovskite-based optoelectronic devices and the challenges that need to be solved for commercialization.
