Some remarks on ferroelectricity, soft modes and related problems

Vitaly Lazarevich Ginzburg

Abstract

The contents of the author's papers devoted to the phenomenological theory of ferroelectrics and the soft-mode concept are elucidated. Some remarks are made concerning the range of applicability of the Landau theory in the case of ferroelectric phase transitions. Connection between ferroelectricity, soft modes and high-temperature superconductivity is also discussed.
