Switching dynamics in ferroelectric superlattices

Dynamics of polarization switching in a superlattice, consisting of alternating ferroelectric and parelectric layers, is studied by the Landau Khalatnikov equation. The dependence of switching time on the dielectric stiffness of the paraelectric layer, interface coupling and layer thicknesses is exa...
