Effect of elastic compliances and higher order Landau coefficients on the phase diagram of single domain epitaxial Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT) thin films

We report the qualitative study of the influence of both elastic compliances and higher order terms of Landau free energy potential on the phase diagram of Pb(Zr0.5Ti0.5)O3 thin films by using a single domain Landau theory. Although the impact of elastic compliances and higher order ter...
