If the bulb of an ordinary thermometer be coated chemically with silver, and then electrically
with a metallic deposit, the mercury will traverse some portion of the scale, and finally take …

The form of the lowest-order electrostrictive effect in crystals is investigated using a
nonlinear theory of the elastic dielectric, described in a previous publication. We find that the …

Electrostriction is often described by a phenomenological tensor relating a material’s
deformation to an applied electric field. However, this tensor is not a material parameter; for …
