The depolarization fields set up to due to uncompensated surface charges in a ferroelectric thin film can suppress the ferroelectric phase below a critical size. Recent experiments show that 180 degree domain structures can help to…
The screening efficiency of a metal-ferroelectric interface plays a critical role in determining the polarization stability and hence the functional properties of ferroelectric thin films. Imperfect screening leads to strong depolarization…
The influence of depolarizing field on the magnitude and stability of a uniform polarization in ferroelectric capacitors and tunnel junctions is studied using a nonlinear thermodynamic theory. It is predicted that, in heterostructures…
We study the effect of depolarization field related with inhomogeneous polarization distribution, strain and surface energy parameters on a domain wall profile near the surface of a ferroelectric film within the framework of…
The effect of magnetic domain boundaries displacement induced by electric field is observed in epitaxial ferrite garnet films (on substrates with the (210) crystallographic orientation). The effect is odd with respect to the electric field…
The surface charge associated with the spontaneous polarization in ferroelectrics is well known to cause a depolarizing field that can be particularly detrimental in the thin-film geometry desirable for microelectronic devices. Incomplete…
We consider a typical heterostructure domain patterned ferroelectric film/ultra thin dielectric layer/ semiconductor, where the semiconductor can be an electrolyte, paraelectric or multi layered graphene. Unexpectedly we have found that the…
We consider ferroelectric phase transitions in both short-circuited and biased ferroelectric-semiconductor films with a space (depletion) charge which leads to some unusual behavior. It is shown that in the presence of the charge the…
A first-principles-derived approach is developed to study the effects of uncompensated depolarizing electric fields on the properties of Pb(Zr,Ti)O$_3$ ultrathin films for different mechanical boundary conditions. A rich variety of…
Using the self-consistent Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire approach we simulate and analyze the spontaneous formation of the domain structure in thin ferroelectric films covered with the surface screening charge of the specific nature…
A Ginzburg-Landau model is used to demonstrate how depletion layers give rise to thickness-dependent ferroelectric properties in thin films. It is shown that free charge layers at the film-electrode interface can result in an internal…
Within the framework of the phenomenological Ginzburg-Landau theory influence of metallic electrodes on the properties of thin ferroelectric films is considered. The contribution of the metallic electrodes with different screening length of…
The calculation of the polarization in ferroelectric thin films is performed using an analytical solution of the Euler-Lagrange differential equation with boundary conditions with different extrapolation lengths of positive sign on the…
We consider phase separated states in magnetic oxides (MO) thin films. We show that these states have a non-zero electric polarization. Moreover, the polarization is intimately related to a spatial distribution of magnetization in the film.…
The effect of impurity and domain-wall scattering on the electrical conductivity of disordered mesoscopic magnetic thin films is studied by use of computer simulation. The results indicate a reduction of resistivity due to a domain wall,…
The impact of free charges on the local pressure on a charged ferroelectric domain wall produced by an electric field has been analyzed. A general formula for the local pressure on a charged domain wall is derived considering full or…
The finite screening length by real metallic electrodes, albeit very small (<1A), results in finite depolarizing field that tends to split the film into domains. In very thin ferroelectric films the domain structure reduces to sinusoidal…
