Ferroelectrics<br />
For this class of materials, typified by BaTiO3 , attention is focussed on the process of<br />
ageing, i.e. the gradual change of materials properties with time, isothermal conditions and<br />
absence of external mechanical loads implied. This process manifests itself in alterations<br />
of static and, respectively, kinetic characteristics such as the clamping pressure exerted on<br />
the walls of ferroelectric domains and the asymmetry of the electrical conductivity<br />
regarding current flow parallel or antiparallel to the direction of the spontaneous<br />
polarization; phenomena, which may be explained in terms of migration of charged point<br />
defects <strong>und</strong>er the influence of internal or external electric fields. Preliminary results<br />
obtained with a drift-diffusion approach suggest that the experimentally observed drastic<br />
rise of the clamping pressure with time is indeed controlled by a mechanism of this kind.<br />
The theories <strong>und</strong>erlying these investigations range from microscopic to macroscopic; their<br />
realizations employ analytical as well as computational techniques.<br />
