Reproduce the low-temperature disappearance of the woven state

Reproduce the experimentally observed disappearance of the woven ferroelectric domain state upon further cooling by extending the mechanistic phase-field formulation beyond its current description of woven-state formation and persistence.

Background

The simulations reproduce a cooling-rate-dependent onset of a woven state and its persistence over the simulated thermal pathway, but they do not capture the experimentally reported disappearance of that state at lower temperatures. The authors identify this as a limitation of the present formulation and state that the thermal pathway must be extended to describe both formation and eventual disappearance.

References

The simulations do not yet reproduce the experimentally observed disappearance of the woven state upon further cooling.
