From the energy gap, pressure and temperature variations of H, K, C and S, we have reported the geometric construction of the free energy surfaces for the ferroelectric and paraelectric phases. Their behaviors are explicitly observed near the ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transitions. It is found that H, C and S display a cusp singularity at the criticality while K converges to zero on both sides of the critical and tricritical points.enmean and Gaussian curvaturescurvednessshape indexquantum lattice modelferroelectric crystalsphase transitionsShape descriptors of equilibrium states in a quantum lattice model with local multi-well potentials: A geometric analysis near the phase transitions in Sn2P2S6 ferroelectric crystalsArticle28410.5488/CMP.28.43703WOS:001651073200011
