Due to the structural and functional flexibility and complexity of ferroelectrics, the fundamental science and applications of this material family is continuously evolving. This reference text covers the most significant advances in the field of ferroelectrics over the past decade. The fundamental aspects describe studies based on first-principles calculations, multiscale simulation and ferroelectric models adapted from ferromagnetic counterparts. The experimental aspects describe advanced ferroelectric ceramics made from band-gap-engineered compositions pioneered in emerging multi-sensing and energy harvesting applications, topological defects in ferroelectrics for nanoelectronics, and the emergence of ferroelectricity in halide perovskites. The book links fundamental science to experiments and applications, which is urgently needed by ferroelectrics researchers who must gain knowledge in both aspects. Readers will uncover the latest verified research results and conclusions reached by well-known, pioneering and leading scientists in each of the topics.

Yang Bai is a tenure-track assistant professor at the University of Oulu in Finland, a position he has held since 2019. In 2021, he was granted the prestigious European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant and was elected as a committee member of the Energy Materials and Systems Division of the American Ceramic Society. He has specialised in ferroelectric materials and devices for over 10 years and has served as an evaluator in five scientific review panels, has been guest editor of two special issues, and has reviewed for over 30 journals.
Ilya Grinberg is an associate professor of chemistry at Bar-Ilan University in Israel, a position he has held since 2015. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania, where he worked as a research specialist until 2015. He is a co-author of around 70 papers and has developed several new atomistic potentials that have enabled million-atom and nanoscale MD simulations of ferroelectrics that have solved the long-standing problem of the ferroelectric switching mechanism and relaxor structure.
