Abstract

The response of a ferroelectric particle to an applied harmonic field is studied using the Fokker–Planck equation approach. The size effect in dielectric susceptibility is interpreted as the complementarity between stochastic resonance and response anomaly of the second-order phase transition. The borderline between stochastic and deterministic behavior is established. Two universal volume-independent ratios of the damping rates are predicted and may be verified in the relaxation experiments. The approach can be generalized also to other finite condensed systems.
