Oscillatory dynamical switching system of bulk ferroelectrics

Abstract

This study gives a detailed account of calculation of the bulk ferroelectric (FE) oscillatory dynamical system switching for first and second-order phase transition, respectively. All the formalism is delineated in the framework of Landau free-energy expansion and Landau-Khalatnikov (LK) equation of motion where effect of external energy may affray FE atoms similar to the spring damped oscillatory system. Here we scrutinized the switching properties from free-energy expansion and hysteresis loop. The polarization and current switching appropriate to the estimated complete switching time, changing of temperature, electric field and damping are scrutinized and discussed.
