Modeling and Analytical Study for Ferroelectric Materials

چکیده
We discuss rate-independent engineering models for multi-dimensional behavior of ferroelectric materials. These models capture the non-linear and hysteretic behavior of such materials. We show that these models can be formulated in an energetic framework which is based on the elastic and the electric displacements as reversible variables and interior, irreversible variables like the remanent polarization. We provide quite general conditions on the constitutive laws which guarantee the existence of a solution. Under more restrictive assumptions we are also able to establish uniqueness results.

Modeling saturated and unsaturated ferroelectric hysteresis loops: An analytical approach
In ferroelectric materials, hysteresis behavior is very difficult to model due to its nonlinear and history-dependent characteristics. Among approaches that are able to describe unsaturated loops, many of them are either very complicated numerical procedures must be employed or the resulting loops contain some undesirable or defective features. In this work, a simple hysteresis model based on a...
متن کاملTwo-Dimensional Simulation of Ferroelectric Memory Cells
An approach to increase the capabilities of integrated circuit nonvolatile memory is to take advantage of the hysteresis in the polarization of ferroelectric materials. For a rigorous analysis of the resulting devices, a suitable model for the ferroelectric effects has been developed. We present this model and show the results of its implementation into a device simulator. Although this model w...
