IEEE 180-1986

The terms defmed in this stan­dard apply primarily to ferroelectric materials including single crystals, polycrystalline ceramics, and semi-crystalline polymers. No attempt is made in this standard to define terms related to ferro­ magnetic materials; but because of the coupling that exists between ferroelectric and ferroelastic behavior in some crystalline materials, ferroelastic terms are defined in one section of this standard.



New IEEE Standard - Inactive-Withdrawn. Terms applying primarily to ferroelectric materials, including single crystals, polycrystalline ceramics, and semi-crystalline polymers, are defined. Because of the coupling that exists between ferroelectric and ferroelastic behavior in some crystalline materials, ferroelastic terms are also defined. When particular terms are related to experimental measurements, the basic measuring techniques are briefly described.
