Abstract
Several mechanisms are described which lead to fast polarization changes in ferroelectric materials. The resulting surface charges may ultimately generate electric field spikes on the order of 1 GV/m. The fast response of ferroelectric materials to phase transitions under the influence of external electrical and/or mechanical stress allows the design of structures which emit and accelerate charged-particle beams
