Abstract

The principal fact that the pyroelectric vector $\Pb^0$ typical of polar crystals is invisible in equilibrium has been verified. Nevertheless, the general formula for $\Pb^0$ as a definite bulk quantity associated only with the inversion properties of a given charge distribution in the bulk has been obtained. Its application to ferroelectric perovskites BaTiO $_3$ , PbTiO $_3$ , and KNbO $_3$ is discussed.
