First-order phase transition stimulated by an external electromagnetic field

The mechanism of the influence of an external electromagnetic field upon the temperature of the first-order phase transition in BaTiO 3 is discussed in the framework of the vibronic theory of ferroelectricity. The irradiation is shown to decrease the phase transition temperature. The results are in...

Description
Summary:The mechanism of the influence of an external electromagnetic field upon the temperature of the first-order phase transition in BaTiO 3 is discussed in the framework of the vibronic theory of ferroelectricity. The irradiation is shown to decrease the phase transition temperature. The results are in good agreement with the experimental findings.
