Domain wall orientations in ferroelastics and ferroelectrics

This paper concerns the problem of orientations of domain walls in ferroelastic and/or ferroelectric single crystals. They are specified on the basis of elastic compatibility of the neighbouring domains. Results are presented in form of tables, which make it possible to find spontaneous tensors (i.e. strain and polarization) for each domain state in any ferroelastic and/or ferroelectric species. Domain wall orientations are listed in tables for all combinations of domain states. For each domain wall orientation, their charge or neutrality is indicated. Results are summarized in comprehensive table including numbers of possible domain states, domain wall types (W-infinity, W-f, S) and their charge or neutrality. Domain pairs with non-permissible domain walls (R case) are also specified.
