Talk:Ferroelectricity

message: The reference to “the capacitor” in the first paragraph of the page seems out of context, would anyone be able to clarify this?
I do agree with the general consensus that this page is in need of an overhaul. --Enghoff 05:36, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: ferroelectric capacitors do exist.  They differ from ordinary capacitors in that they have tunable capacitance (see Ferroelectric#Applications).  Furthermore, they have very high permittivities / dielectric constants.  --Nathaniel (talk) 11:46, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Piezoelectric effect redirects to piezoelectricity, and pyroelectric effect redirects to pyroelectricity, but ferroelectricity redirects to ferroelectric effect.  These should all be consistent.  The "-ity" sounds rather odd to me, and I think " effect" is better.  Any opinions? –radiojon 15:01, 2004 Apr 16 (UTC)
:Perhaps we should bring it up on wikipedia:naming conventions.  I'd vote for "piezoelectric" etc. myself, for easy linking.  These are often used as both nouns and adjectives, and all "proper" forms can be made by appending a few letters (such as "ity", "ally", etc.) outside the link.--Joel 06:34, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: HELP ME EDIT THIS ARTICLE: To some degree I have the technical knowledge to improve it(and at the very least I personally know people who are very well known in the field), but I am a noob and I really don't want to to do this alone. If you write well, and know a lot about posting on Wikipedia I would like to work together to rewrite this page. Please contact me-
TheDeuce1123  PS. I still dont know how to do time stamps LOL!
The article is written for people who already know about the subject, we need to make this more approachable to people without the prerequisite knowledge.  ALKIVAR™ 17:28, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The title of Vasalek's paper is Piezoelectric and allied phenomena in Rochelle salt.  Do the "allied phenomena" include ferroelectricity? Thunderbird2 (talk) 22:15, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Graph that is labeled paraelectric polarization should IMO be labeled superparaelectric polarization. I have never seen such a response from any of paraelectrics that I investigated. Above thier respective Curie points they all behave like in graph labeled here "dielectric polarization". And adding yet another penny - ferroelectrics are dielectrics too. Although quite strange.
Now I have seen behavior that is labeled here as paraelectric - it was in material in which size effect caused vanishing of ferroelectric phase. And it has been shown in quite an array of other materials too, but always labeled superparaelectric. Jarosław Komar (talk) 08:21, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

message: For example, if you maximally "electrize" two pieces of real-world ferroelectric material of such a size that they can be held in your two hand - would you feel an attraction or repulsion, just like with magnets? Or is the effect much weaker? Can you add this or similar "layman" information to the article? -- 92.226.88.163 (talk) 01:03, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
