Critical Dependence of Polarization Phenomena on Conductivity in Ferroelectric Polymers

Experimentally obtained data on the polarization dynamics in polyvinylidene fluoride, a typical ferroe-lectric polymer, are analyzed during initial poling, short circuiting and polarization switching. Considering a two-component structure of the samples, namely, presence of ferroelectric and non-fer...

description Experimentally obtained data on the polarization dynamics in polyvinylidene fluoride, a typical ferroe-lectric polymer, are analyzed during initial poling, short circuiting and polarization switching. Considering a two-component structure of the samples, namely, presence of ferroelectric and non-ferroelectric phases, it is shown that value and stability of the ferroelectric polarization significantly depend on conductivity and space charges. Application of a simple two-layer theoretical model with an explicit conductivity allowed ex-plaining such important features, as slow development and switching of the ferroelectric polarization and a partial back-switching of the already formed polarization after short-circuiting of the sample.
