With the increasing emphasis on the applications of ferroelectric films in memory devices, it is relevant to calculate hysteresis loops for film systems. Here we present two calculations based on the Landau-Devonshire free energy. First we deal with a ferroelectric bilayer with an assumed antiferroe...
