Influence of surface and bulk layers on the crossover features for interaction parameters of a ferroelectric thin film

The phase diagram of a ferroelectric thin film is studied by using the usual mean-field approximation. The crossover features, from the ferroelectric-dominant phase diagram to the paraelectric-dominant phase diagram, for the physical parameters of the thin film are discussed. Special attention is devoted to the investigation of surface and bulk layers, and how to influence the crossover values of exchange interactions and transverse fields.     

Combined effect of the transition layer and interfacial coupling on the properties of ferroelectric bilayer film

Within the framework of modified Ginzburg--Landau--Devonshire phenomenological theory, a ferroelectric bilayer film with a transition layer within each constituent film and an interfacial coupling between two materials has been studied. Properties including the Curie temperature and the spontaneous polarization of a bilayer film composed of two equally thick ferroelectric constituent films are discussed. The results show that the combined effect of the transition layer and the interfacial coupling plays an important role in explaining the interesting behaviour of ferroelectric multilayer structures consisting of two ferroelectric materials.     

Influence of lateral size on dielectric properties of ferroelectric thin films with structure transition zones

By taking into account structural transition zones near the lateral and thickness direction edges, this paper uses a modified transverse Ising model to study dielectric properties of a finite size ferroelectric thin film in the framework of the mean-field approximation. The results indicate that the influence of the lateral size on the dielectric susceptibility cannot be neglected and lateral structural transition zones could be a crucial factor that improves the mean susceptibility of the fixed size film.     

Dynamic hysteresis loops of the spin-2 bilayer Ising model

Based on the mean-field theory and Glauber-type stochastic dynamics, the dynamic hysteresis loops (DHLs) of the spin-2 Ising model are studied on the bilayer square lattice. The DHLs are given for different values of temperature, crystal-field, exchange interaction and oscillating field frequency. It is found that the physical parameters have a strong effect on the shape and number of the DHLs. The results are compared with some theoretical and experimental works and found in a qualitatively good agreement.

Dielectric susceptibility of a ferroelectric bilayer film with surface transition layers

Using the transverse Ising model within the framework of the mean-field theory, we investigate a ferroelectric bilayer film with the surface transition layer within each constituent slab and an antiferroelectric interfacial coupling between two slabs. The combined influence of the surface transition layer and antiferroelectric interfacial coupling on the dielectric susceptibility of a bilayer film is discussed in detail. The results show that the surface transition layer plays a crucial role in dielectric susceptibility of a bilayer film.     

Phase diagram of ferroelectric thin film with diluted surface

We study the influence of the surface of the ferroelectric films on the properties of the intrinsic ferroelectric polarization state in frame of statistical Transverse Ising Model (TIM). The quality of the surface is modelled by the dilution parameter q$q$ that reflects the relative weight of the paraelectric impurities vs. ferroelectric ions. Using the effective field approach the variation of the average value of spontaneous polarization as function of temperature for different film thicknesses has been investigated as function of dilution parameter q$q$. The phase diagram of the system and crossover from the ferroelectric to the paraelectric phase is discussed.     

The polarization and dielectric susceptibility of a ferroelectric bilayer film

A ferroelectric bilayer film consisting of two different ferroelectric constituent films with a transition layer within each constituent film and interfacial coupling between two materials is investigated based on the Ginzburg-Landau-Devonshire phenomenological theory. A parameter α, which describing the differences between physical properties of two constituent films is first introduced in our paper, and reflects a more realistic situation compared to the previous treatments assuming the same two constituent films. We study the polarization and dielectric susceptibility properties of the ferroelectric bilayer film with two different constituent films. The results present some interesting phenomena due to the introduction of parameter α.     

Epitaxy surface effect on the first-order phase transition properties in a ferroelectric thin film

By modifying the interchange interactions and the transverse fields on the epitaxy surface layer,this paper studies the phase transition properties of an n-layer ferroelectric thin film by the Fermi-type Green’s function technique based on the transverse Ising model with a four-spin interaction.The special attention is given to the effect of the epitaxy surface layer on the first-order phase transition properties in the parameter space constructed by the ratios of the bulk transverse field and the bulk four-spin interaction to the bulk two-spin interaction with the framework of the higher-order decoupling approximation to the Fermi-type Green’s function.The results show that the first-order phase transition properties will be changed significantly due to the modification of interchange interaction and transverse field parameters on the epitaxy surface layer.The dependence of the first-order phase transition properties on the thickness of ferroelectric thin films is also discussed.

Calculation of minor hysteresis loops under metastable to stable transformations in vortex matter

We present a model in which metastable supercooled phase and stable equilibrium phase of vortex matter coexist in different regions of a sample. Minor hysteresis loops are calculated with the simple assumption of the two phases of vortex matter having field-independent critical current densities. We use our earlier published ideas that the free energy barrier separating the metastable and stable phases reduces as the magnetic induction moves farther from the first order phase transition line, and that metastable to stable transformations occur in local regions of the sample when the local energy dissipation exceeds a critical value. Previously reported anomalous features in minor hysteresis loops are reproduced, and calculated field profiles are presented.     

Random crystal field effect on hysteresis loops and compensation behavior of mixed spin-(1, 3/2) Ising system

Magnetic hysteresis and compensation behavior of a mixed spin-(1, 3/2) Ising model on a square lattice are investigated in the framework of effective field theory based on a probability distribution technique. The effect of random crystal field, ferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic exchange interaction on hysteresis loops and compensation phenomenon are discussed. A number of characteristic phenomena have been reported such as the observation of triple hysteresis loops at low temperatures and for negative values of random crystal field. Critical and double compensation temperatures have been also found. The obtained results are also compared to some previous works.     

Effects of random fields in an antiferromagnetic Ising bilayer film

The magnetic properties (phase diagrams and magnetizations) of an antiferromagnetic Ising bilayer film with random fields are investigated by the use of the effective field theory with correlations. It is examined how an uncompensated magnetization can be realized in the system, due to the effects of random fields in the two layers. They show the tricritical, compensation point and reentrant phenomena, depending on these parameters.     

The wetting transition in a random surface model

We continue our analysis of the phase diagram of a discrete random surface, with no downward fingers, lying above a flat two-dimensional substrate. The surface is closely related to the 2D Ising model and its free energy is exactly solvable in much (but not all) of the phase diagram. There is a transition at temperatureT _w from a high-T infinite height or wet phase to a low-T finite height or partially wet phase. Previously it was shown that when a parameterb, related to the contact interaction, is positive,T _w is independent ofb and there is a logarithmic specific heat divergence asT _w is approached fromeither side. Here we show that forb<0,T _w does depend onb and there isno thermodynamic singularity from the wet phase. The partially wet phases forb0 andb>0 differ in the absence or presence of a monolayer covering the entire substrate; this results in a first-order transition across the lineb=0,T<T _w.This paper is dedicated to Jerry Percus.

Phase transition behaviors of a ferroelectric thin film with long-range interactions

Within the framework of the mean-field approximation, the transverse-field Ising model is used to investigate the surface parameter modification of interaction constants and transverse fields on phase transition behaviors of a ferroelectric thin film with long-range interactions. The variation of Curie temperature as a function of the surface transverse field for different surface interaction constants or thickness is discussed. Meanwhile, the variation of Curie temperature as a function of the surface exchange interaction for different surface transverse fields is examined. In addition, the dependence of Curie temperature on the film thickness for different surface exchange interactions and surface transverse fields is obtained.
