The ferroelectric materials show a switchable macroscopic electric polarization which effectively couples external electric fields with the elastic and structural properties of these compounds. These properties have been used in many technological applications, like actuators and transducers which transform electrical signals into mechanical work [72], or non-volatile random access memories [73]. From a more fundamental point of view, the study of the phase transitions and symmetry breakings in these materials are also very interesting, and their properties are extremely sensitive to changes in temperature, strain, composition, and defects concentration [74].

The elasticity and structural integrity of the vascular matrix is dependent on ascorbate as an essential cofactor for molecular cross-linking of collagen, hence, the connective tissue-related defects found in scurvy. Even moderate ascorbate depletion, short of scurvy, has been shown to result in increased tendency of the gingiva to bleed or become inflamed (Leggott et al., 1986). Evidence suggests that ascorbic acid has beneficial effects on the human cardiovascular system beyond collagen formation and the antioxidant protection of lipids and LDL mentioned previously. 

The structural contribution of enthalpy for solid solution originates from the valence and the crystal structure of the solute and the solvent atom. It is found to have a very minor contribution and it is difficult to calculate. Hence, the structural contribution to enthalpy has been usually neglected (Basu, et al., 2008). In the case of the elastic and structural contributions are absent, thus the formation enthalpy of glasses can be calculated as... 

In order to interpret the elastic and structural anomaly at 0.9 mol% H2O, we introduce a sublattice, which has the equivalent length (2.7 nm) of a sublattice constant, flsub- The sublattice has a peculiar geometric relationship with the orthorhombic lattice (Fig. 13). The lattice relationship is given by.
