Infrared spectroscopic ellipsometry study of vinylidene fluoride (70%)-trifluoroethylene (30%) copolymer Langmuir-Blodgett films

Effect of thermal annealing on ferroelectric domain structures in poly(vinylidene-fluoride-trifluorethylene) Langmuir-Blodgett thin films

Effect of thermal annealing on ferroelectric domain structures in poly(vinylidene-fluoride-trifluorethylene) Langmuir-Blodgett thin films" (2014). Stephen Ducharme Publications. Paper 95. We report a piezo-response force microscopy study of the effect of thermal annealing on ferroelec-tric domain structures in 6 to 20 monolayer (11 to 36 nm) polycrystalline poly(vinylidene-fluoride-trifluorethy...

Pyroelectric study of polarization switching in Langmuir-Blodgett films of poly(vinylidene fluoride trifluoroethylene)

Oriented polyvinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene (P(VDF-TrFE)) films by Langmuir-Blodgett deposition: a synchrotron X-ray diffraction study.

Langmuir-Blodgett films of polyvinylidene fluoride trifluoroethylene - P(VDF-TrFE)-copolymers possess substantially improved electrocaloric and pyroelectric properties, when compared with conventionally spin-cast films. In order to rationalize this, we prepared single-layered films of P(VDF-TrFE) (70 : 30) using both deposition techniques. Grazing incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS),...

The effect of interlayer interactions on the ferroelectricâ•fiparaelectric phase transition in multilayered thin films of vinylidene fluorideâ•fitrifluoroethylene copolymers

The interaction between ferroelectric polymer films with different transition temperatures is evident in the effect of layer thickness on the ferroelectric– paraelectric phase transition in multilayer films, as revealed by x-ray diffraction and dielectric measurements. The multilayer samples consisted of alternating Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films of two different copolymers of vinylidene fluoride...
