Energy Difference
Linked via "lattice rigidity"
In materials science, particularly concerning ferroelectrics, the energy difference governs the switching behavior of spontaneous polarization. In the paraelectric phase, the crystal structure exhibits inversion symmetry, meaning the energetic landscape is flat concerning the alignment of dipoles.
Upon cooling below the Curie temperature ($T_C$), symmetr…
