The Influence of the Photovoltaic Effect on the Ferroelectric Properties of BaTiO3 Thin Film

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article simulates the ferroelectric properties of a model of BaTiO3 thin film sandwiched between metal electrodes at the state of short circuit. We discussed the change of the depolarization and the Photocurrent generated within the film under UV irradiation. Comparing the polarization before and after the irradiation, the influence of the photovoltaic effect on the ferroelectric properties of BaTiO3 Thin Film is gained.
