We present a comprehensive analysis of domain structure formation in ferroelectric phase of incipient ferroelectrics with off-center dipole impurities like KTaO 3 :Li, Nb,Na. Our analysis is carried out on the base of effective free energy of disordered ferroelectrics, derived by us earlier. This free energy permits to apply the standard approach to domain structure calculation. Using coupled system of Maxwell equations with those obtained by minimization of above free energy, we calculate the physical characteristics of domain structure as functions of impurity dipoles concentration n. Our theory can be easily generalized for arbitrary temperature and crystal shape including thin films.
