As an example, anisotropic Landau coefficients are obtained by starting from experimental parameters for Pb-free 0.5Ba(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3-0.5(Ba0.7Ca0.3)TiO3 (BZT-50BCT). Thermodynamic parameters are optimized separately for the rhombohedral (R) and tetragonal (T) ferroelectric phases using a combination of single-crystal and polycrystalline polarization and permittivity data. Parameters are validated against dielectric permittivity as a function of temperature from single-crystal and polycrystalline samples. The optimized parameters correctly predict the sequence of phase transitions as a function of temperature and the paraelectric-ferroelectric transition at 355.5 K is within the experimentally reported range. An upper thermodynamic limit is predicted for R + T metastable coexistence at 302.3 K in agreement with the experimentally measured transition to a stable single T phase for this chemistry at 302 K. The detailed parameter optimization procedure enables the identification of single-crystal tensor properties from experimental measurements for a wide variety of chemistries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"post-excerpt\" class=\"post-excerpt\">O.
