Ferroelasticity — is a phenomenon in which a material may exhibit a spontaneous strain. In ferroics, ferroelasticity is the mechanical equivalent of ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism. When a stress is applied to a ferroelastic material, a phase change will occur … Wikipedia
Multiferroics — have been formally defined as materials that exhibit more than one primary ferroic order parameter simultaneously (i.e. in a single phase).[1] The four basic primary ferroic order parameters are ferromagnetism, ferroelectricity, ferroelasticity… … Wikipedia
Ferroelectricity — is a property of certain materials which possess a spontaneous electric polarization that can be reversed by the application of an external electric field.[1][2] The term is used in analogy to ferromagnetism, in which a material exhibits a… … Wikipedia
Ferroics — is the generic name given to the study of ferromagnets, ferroelectrics, and ferroelastics. Essentially the basis of this study is to understand the large changes in physical characteristics that occur in a very short temperature range. The… … Wikipedia
