Nonergodic thermodynamics of disordered ferromagnets and ferroelectrics

Abstract

Phenomenological thermodynamic theory describing the properties of metastable states in disordered ferromagnets and ferroelectrics with frustrative random interactions is developed and its ability to describe various nonergodic phenomena in real crystals is demonstrated.
