This study is addressed to the conceptual and technical problems emerging for ferroelectric systems out of thermodynamic equilibrium. The theoretical setup includes a lattice of interacting cells, each cell obeying regular dynamics determined by Ginzburg-Landau model Hamiltonians whereas relaxation toward minimum energy state is reproduced by thermal environment. Representative examples include polarization response of a single lattice cell, birth of a domain as triggered by the ergodicity breaking, and the effect of nonlocal electroelastic interaction all evidenced combining the Fokker-Planck, imaginary time Schrodinger and symplectic integration techniques.
