In a narrow sense, phase transition take place between phases with different symmetry and without long-range atomic diffusion. The terminology phase transtiion is used as this narrow sense in ferroelectric physics. Symmetry-breaking process: the transition from the more symmetrical phase to the less symmetrical one " Thermodynamic potential density of free energy " Quantity exists which could be used as a measure of order which appears in the ordered phase #order parameter " Landau-Devonshire theory #order parameter spatially constant (spatial fluctuations are neglected, ferroelectrics P F(m) ) Free energy of Landau Theory F(m)=F 0 + am 2 + bm 4 + cm 6 +- HM 2 4 6
