ScalarBulkEnergyP

Overview

Sets up the RHS of the coupled Landau-Khalatnikov equation. Since we are working with ScalarKernels, this is effectively a single grid point, or homogeneous calculation. In the context of micromagnetics, this is the macrospin analog for ferroelectrics. This object concerns the bulk contribution from the electric polarization (in the case of ),

Ignoring the LHS and working in index notation,

In Voight notation, many of these terms vanish due to symmetry of the parent phase.
