Abstract
Abstract The equilibrium thermodynamic approach to ferroic hysteresis was recalled firstly, especially according to the ferroelectric case. Then based on the uniqueness of equilibrium state, it was showed that a ferroic hysteresis loop is composed of stationary states but not equilibrium ones, especially according to the ferromagnetic case. So, it was concluded that the equilibrium thermodynamic approach to ferroic hysteresis is not reliable. Life-force should be bestowed on the domain structure dynamic approach and the non-equilibrium thermodynamic approach.
期刊介绍:
Ferroelectrics Letters is a separately published section of the international journal Ferroelectrics. Both sections publish theoretical, experimental and applied papers on ferroelectrics and related materials, including ferroelastics, ferroelectric ferromagnetics, electrooptics, piezoelectrics, pyroelectrics, nonlinear dielectrics, polymers and liquid crystals.
Ferroelectrics Letters permits the rapid publication of important, quality, short original papers on the theory, synthesis, properties and applications of ferroelectrics and related materials.
