Ferroelectric domains is a topic of undying interest in the research community, since their properties and formation conditions still remain not fully understood. Among those conditions, surface screening charges, flexoelectric effect and chemical stresses can be named. Their influence is well observable in films of several to several tens of nanometres thicknesses, i.e. in the forefront of the phenomenological theories.

A series of modelling experiments has been performed to predict the effects that those physical qualities can make on a shape of ferroelectric domains in the most well-known perovskite materials, as well as their impact on the electromechanical properties, phase diagrams, and field distributions. Their influence has been numerically and analytically estimated to provide a roadmap for future measurements and compared with each other to obtain a stronger understanding of the physical processes occurring in perovskites.
