43. So far we considered only two limiting cases: the linear and nonlinear dielectric responses, which are correct for (Equation presented) and (Equation presented), respectively. In fact one can analytically solve Eqs. (1) with Eq. (3) assuming that (Equation presented). For example, in Ref. [67] the polarization profile of a charged "head-to-head" domain wall in a ferroelectric was calculated. In the ferroelectric phase, the spontaneous polarization in the domain is approximately equal to our (Equation presented). Therefore, a charged domain wall, considered in Ref. [67], should be compared with our accumulation layer at the crossover value of the electric field (Equation presented). Indeed, our results Eqs. (11) and (15) taken at (Equation presented) agree with those for the charged domain wall.

61. One can verify whether Eqs. (36) and (37) are applicable for describing the capacitance-voltage characteristics. To do this we consider the critical voltage (38). For small concentration (Equation presented) is smaller than the experimental voltage (Equation presented) (see Fig. 7). It means that using Eq. (36) is justified. For high concentrations (Equation presented) or (Equation presented) is larger than the experimental voltage (Equation presented). For such voltages one can use Eq. (37).

63. Note that there are several other methods [68,69] to study the nonlinear dielectric response, but they deal with relatively weak electric fields, while we are interested in strong electric fields.
