Harnessing electrostatics through temperature modulations to control ferroelectrics
Cameron A. M. Scott, Xabier Diaz de Cerio, Jorge Ãñiguez-González
Temperature modulations provide an alternative method for dynamically controlling the ferroelectric state. In this paper, we use scale-independent Landau potentials and predictive…

Improper-proper ferroelectric competition as a mechanism for multistate polarisation and ferrielectric-like behaviour
Cameron A. M Scott, Finlay D. Morrison, Nicholas. C. Bristowe
In this paper, we re-explore a simple textbook Landau model describing improper ferroelectricity and show that in the limit where both proper and improper instabilities exist and c…
