Abstract:Theoretically, interfacial passive layers identified in most ferroelectric thin films are assumed to be highly insulating to tilt polarization–voltage (P–V) hysteresis loops and to reduce the apparent coercive field. Practically, the layers would be leaky under an extremely high field, where the P–V loop remains squared rather than tilted. In this work, we develop a technique to measure the nonlinear current–voltage dependence across the interfacial layers during domain switching. With the aid of this techniqu… Show more
“…It indicates that a nonlinear current-voltage dependence across the interfacial layers can affect the apparent coercive voltage, including the intrinsic coercive voltage and a constant voltage arising from the interfacial layers. 25,26 To further understand the defect dipole switching mechanism in BFO thin film, we show the plot of I sw with respect to the reciprocal of the coercive field (E d-c ) of defect dipoles in Fig. 5.…”

“…According to the current limited domain switching model, the voltage (V f ) across ferroelectric capacitor varies incrementally from 0 to V A during the initial pure capacitor charging time. [23][24][25][26] The switching current transient I sw with time t can be then simply described as…”

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.
