4.2.4.1 Uniaxial Materials

This is the simplest approach for two-dimensional simulation. The only important quantity necessary to obtain the polarization is the strength of the electric field in the direction $vec{X}$ of the anisotropy axis:

\begin{displaymath}
P=f(\vec{E} \cdot \vec{X}).
\end{displaymath} (4.16)

Thus the polarization vector reads as
\begin{displaymath}
\vec{P}=f(\vec{E} \cdot \vec{X}) \cdot\vec{X}.
\end{displaymath} (4.17)
