Abstract

High domain boundary densities in ferroic nano materials are generated in computer simulation studies by (1) fast quench from a para-elastic into a ferroelastic phase and (2) by shear of small samples at low temperatures inside the stability field of the ferroelastic phase. Quenched samples evolve from tweed to junctions to stripe pattern. In driven systems, no tweed exists and the mesoscopic structure ‘nucleates’ rapidly when a yield stress is surpassed. The nucleated domain patterns are long-lived and change towards the single domain state only when the external strain is further increased.
