Recent Advances in Application of Landau-Ginzburg Theory for Ferroelectric Superlattices
Abstract:
Ferroelectric superlattices with polarization perpendicular to the surface or interface are studied within the framework of the Landau-Ginzburg theory. An interface energy is introduced in the free energy to describe the effect of mixing and local polarization coupling at interface. Internal electric field is considered in the model. For superlattices grown on substrate, the influence of substrate on the properties of ferroelectric superlattices is required. This brief review is a sequel to the previous review article [1], which summarizes the recent development in Landau-Ginzburg theory developed for studying ferroelectric superlattices over approximately the last three years.
