Applications of ferroelastic materials : past, present and future / Tadej Rojac, Etienne Lemaire and Dwight Viehland.Full-text restricted to subscribers or individual document purchasers.This book offers a comprehensive introduction to ferroelastic materials, their phase transitions and their structures. It explores how domain walls respond to electric fields, including recent research describing these movements through the concept of avalanches. It presents new insights into the unique properties of ferroelastic domain walls, such as electrical conductivity, polarity and magnetism. These phenomena are examined from both theoretical and experimental perspectives, with a focus on how surfaces can influence their expression. A chapter is dedicated to martensitic phase transitions and the growing interest in ferroelasticity within organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites is also examined. This book is an essential resource for researchers and advanced students interested in the evolving science of ferroelastic materials and their role in future technologies.Researchers, postdocs and PhD students working with ferroelastic materials in disciplines including materials science, earth sciences, engineering and chemistry.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Guillaume F. Nataf completed his joint PhD in 2016 at the University Paris-Saclay (France) and the University of Luxembourg. In 2017 he moved to the University of Cambridge as postdoc and obtained a Research Fellowship from the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851. In 2021 he became a CNRS Research Scientist at the GREMAN laboratory, Tours, France. A year later he was awarded an ERC Starting Grant to investigate thermal transport in ferroelectric and ferroelastic materials. Blai Casals is an Assistant Professor of Physics at the University of Barcelona, Spain. He obtained his PhD from the Universitat Aut?onoma de Barcelona in 2018. As a postdoctoral researcher he spent 2.5 years at the University of Cambridge and two years as a postdoc at the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2). Ekhard K.H. Salje completed his PhD at Hannover University, Germany, in 1972 and became Head of the Institute for Crystallography and Petrology (Hannover University) in 1983. In 1985 he moved to the University of Cambridge where he became Professor of Mineral Physics (Department of Earth Sciences) in 1992. He published several key articles on ferroelastic materials, including the first publication on domain boundary engineering, which highlighted that domain walls can be used as functional interfaces.Title from PDF title page (viewed on January 8, 2026).
