General features of the intrinsic ferroelectric coercive field
نویسندگان
چکیده
The value of the intrinsic ferroelectric coercive field is obtained independently, from general energy considerations and from the predictions of several models of the ferroelectric state. All predictions yield a value of the order of the depolarization field, which is equal to the spontaneous polarization divided by the dielectric permittivity, and are consistent with the recent measurements of the intrinsic ferroelectric coercive field in ultrathin Langmuir–Blodgett films of copolymers of polyvinylidene fluoride with trifluoroethylene. Prior studies succeeded only in measuring the much smaller extrinsic coercive fields, which are limited by nucleation processes and domain motion. © 2001 MAIK “Nauka/Interperiodica”.

Intrinsic ferroelectric coercive field
The Landau-Ginzburg theory of ferroelectricity predicts the intrinsic coercive field for polarization reversal, but the observed extrinsic coercive field is always much smaller as a result of nucleation, dynamic processes not covered by the static theory. We have realized the intrinsic coercive field for the first time, in two-dimensional Langmuir-Blodgett polymer films as thin as 1 nm. The mea...
متن کاملCoercive field of 0.955Pb„Zn1Õ3Nb2Õ3...O3 – 0.045PbTiO3 single crystal and its frequency dependence
Domain switching behavior of 0.955Pb~Zn1/3Nb2/3!O3 – 0.045PbTiO3 ferroelectric single crystal has been investigated using the ultrasonic technique in addition to the polarization hysteresis measurements. The ultrasonic technique makes it possible to extend the coercive field measurement to frequencies as low as 10 Hz, revealing the existence of a saturated coercive field Esc , which representin...
متن کاملIntrinsic ferroelectric switching from first principles.
The existence of domain walls, which separate regions of different polarization, can influence the dielectric, piezoelectric, pyroelectric and electronic properties of ferroelectric materials. In particular, domain-wall motion is crucial for polarization switching, which is characterized by the hysteresis loop that is a signature feature of ferroelectric materials. Experimentally, the observed ...

Polarization reversal in ferroelectric nanomesas of polyvinylidene fluoride with trifluoroethylene has been probed by ultrahigh vacuum piezoresponse force microscopy in a wide temperature range from 89 to 326 K. In dramatic contrast to the macroscopic data, the piezoresponse force microscopy local switching was nonthermally activated and, at the same time, occurring at electric fields significa...
