Superelastic Softening of Ferroelastic Multidomain Crystals [PDF]

Ferroelectrics, 2012
Many proper and improper ferroelastic materials display (at sufficiently low measurement frequencies) a huge elastic softening below Tc. This giant elastic softening, which can be suppressed with uniaxial stress, is caused by domain wall motion. Here we shortly review our results on frequency and temperature dependent elastic measurements of some ...
