a b s t r a c tTunable transmittance response in the 0.1-25 THz range for a lead Zirconate Titanate Ferroelectric film under imprint effects and surface anisotropy is calculated by adapting the classical Landau Devonshire theory and Rouard's method. Induced electrical field is introduced by modulating the P E − polarization profile, while the dielectric permittivity frequency dependence enters into the formalism by taking into account the soft phonon mode E(TO1) contribution in the framework of the Drude-Lorentz model. It is found that two optical states of light transmittance emerge at zero applied field and normal incidence, and the intensities of transmitted light are closely correlated with the strength of imprint and the path of the electrical polarization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
