Study on the Polarization Reversal Characteristics of a Ferroelectric Thin Film with Surface Transition Layers

Article Preview

Abstract:

Utilizing the Landau-Khalatnikov equation of motion, the polarization reversal characteristics of a ferroelectric thin film with surface transition layers have been first investigated. We have discussed the effects of the thickness, the surface transition layer parameters and the temperature on the switching properties of a ferroelectric thin film. The results show that the stronger the surface transition layer effects are, the smaller the coercive field and switching time are.
