Abstract

Abstract: From the view-point of non-equilibrium (or irreversible) statistical thermodynamics, the similarities and differences between the processes of (first-order) ferroelectric phase transition and those of ferroic hysteresis were compared. They are all irreversible. The former are local and rate-dependent, at the meanwhile, the latter are non-local and rate-independent.
