ABSTRACTA phase-field model for predicting the domain structure evolution in constrained ferroelectric thin films is developed. It employs an analytical elastic solution derived for a constrained film with arbitrary eigenstrain distributions. In particular, the model is applied to the domain structure evolution during a cubic→tetragonal proper ferro- electric phase transition. The effect of substrate constraint on the volume fractions of domain variants, domain-wall orientations, and domain shapes is studied. It is shown that the predicted results agree very well with existing experimental observations in ferroelectric thin films.

Based on an Ising model in a transverse field (TIM) and using a Green's function formalism the critical exponents of the polarization β and of the longitudinal susceptibility γ are calculated for a ferroelectric thin film consisting of N layers. The exponents depends on the number of layers in a significant manner. Whereas for N=3 layers the exponents are β=0.131 and γ=1.739 there is a change over to β=0.315 and γ=1.239 in case of N=30. The datas are in a good agreement with predictions for 2D and 3D Ising systems. Using scaling laws other exponents like α, δ, η and ν are obtained, too.
