Abstract
In analogy to the subfield of magnonics in magnetism, ferronics is the study of the elementary excitations of ferroelectric order, termed ferrons. From this basis the authors offer their perspective on our present understanding of electric polarization currents in ferroelectric materials, and potential applications in thermal management and information technologies.
