13. The remnant polarization is the residual polarization present in the ferroelectric material when the applied field is reduced to zero after poling. The spontaneous polarization is the extrapolated polarization from the linear region of the hysteresis characteristics to where the applied field is zero. See also, F. Jona and G. Shirane, Ferroelectric Crystals (Macmillan, New York, 1962), pp. 4-5.
