There is interest in the fundamental and applied aspects. The theoretical basis is connected with the development of the Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire (LGD) mean field and the first principles theories to the ultrathin ferroelectric films with thickness in the vicinity of critical size. Important potential applications are possible nanosize ferroelectric films in non-volatile memories, microelectronics, sensors, pyroelectric and electro-optic devices. This new area of research of ferroelectricity is still in impetuous development and far from completion. Many topics elucidated  need generalization. The book contains theory and experimental data for a wide range of ferroelectric materials. 410 0$aNanoscience and technology. 606 $aFerroelectricity 606 $aNanostructured materials 615 0$aFerroelectricity. 615 0$aNanostructured materials. 676 $a128 700 $aFridkin$b Vladimir$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$014600 702 $aDucharme$b Stephen 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298636703321 996 $aFerroelectricity at the Nanoscale$92521554 997 $aUNINA
