Abstract
Domain-related properties of ferroic materials offer a number of application aspects. However, some of the involved domain characteristics have not been fully explained and may initiate an interesting field of further research. Here we specify and discuss several such still unresolved problems related to single crystalline and ceramic samples. Those concerning static domain pattern include the topic of domain wall thickness and of possible macroscopic wall properties, macroscopic properties of ceramic samples depoled in different ways and application of multidomain systems in surface acoustic wave devices. Discussed problems related to dynamic domain phenomena include the issue of visibility and thickness of moving domain walls, the effect of nucleation and the topic of extrinsic contributions to macroscopic properties of multidomain samples. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
