Modelling Thickness-Dependence of Ferroelectric Thin Film Properties

Abstract

We present a segregrated strain model that describes the thickness-dependent dielectric properties of ferroelectric films. Using a phenomenological Landau approach, we present results for two specific materials, making comparison with experiment and with first-principles calculations whenever possible. We also suggest a "smoking gun" benchtop probe to test our elastic scenario.
