Anti-phase domain (source code)

= Anti-phase domain
{wiki=Anti-phase_domain}

In the context of physics and material science, particularly in the study of ferroelectric and ferromagnetic materials, an anti-phase domain refers to a region within a material where the order parameter (like polarization in ferroelectrics or magnetization in ferromagnets) is aligned oppositely compared to its neighboring regions. This can result in distinct domain structures where the orientation of the dipoles or spins differs from those in adjacent domains.
