Abstract

AbstractThe molecular symmetry of all the existing organic ferroelectrics was analyzed with an intention to develop a criterion to search for new low molecular weight organic ferroelectric. We present here a summery of the analysis; it is conclude that in order to exhibit ferroelectricity in crystalline state the molecules should necessarily poses symmetry higher than C1, since this appears to be an important requirement to ensure reorientability of the electrical polarization of the crystals.
