Properties of ferroelectric nanodots embedded in a polarizable medium: Atomistic simulations

S. Prosandeev, L. Bellaiche

An atomistic approach is used to investigate finite-temperature properties of ferroelectric nanodots that are embedded in a polarizable medium. Different phases are predicted, depe…
