Theoretical Methods of Domain Structures in Ultrathin Ferroelectric Films: A Review
This review covers methods and recent developments of the theoretical study of domain structures in ultrathin ferroelectric films. The review begins with an introduction to some basic concepts and theories (e.g., polarization and its modern theory, ferroelectric phase transition, domain formation, and finite size effects, etc.) that are relevant to the study of domain structures in ultrathin fe...
متن کاملNanoscale domain patterns in ultrathin polymer ferroelectric films.
High-resolution studies of domain configurations in Langmuir-Blodgett films of ferroelectric polymer poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene), P(VDF-TrFE), have been carried out by means of piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM). Changes in film thickness and morphology cause significant variations in polarization patterns. In continuous films and nanomesas with relatively low thickness/grain ...
متن کاملHomogeneous switching in ultrathin ferroelectric films.
It is well known that there are two possible switching mechanisms in ferroelectric crystals and films (see, e.g., Tagantsev et al 2010 Domains in Ferroic Crystals and Thin Films (Berlin: Springer)). The first mechanism, which follows from the mean-field theory of Landau-Ginzburg, is a homogeneous one and does not connect domains. This mechanism was never observed before 1998. The second mechani...
متن کاملFerroelectric domain structures of epitaxial „001... BiFeO3 thin films
Ferroelectric domain structures of epitaxial BiFeO3 thin films on miscut 001 SrTiO3 substrates have been studied by transmission electron microscopy. BiFeO3 on 0.8° miscut substrates are composed of both 109° and 71° domains; in contrast, only 71° stripe domains are observed in BiFeO3 on 4° miscut 001 SrTiO3 substrates. The domain width in BiFeO3 on 4° miscut substrates increases as film thickn...
