Abstract

We investigated the time-dependent polarization switching behaviors of (111)-preferred polycrystalline Pb(ZrxTi1-x)O3 thin films with various Zr concentrations. We could explain all the polarization switching behaviors well by assuming Lorentzian distributions in the logarithmic polarization switching time [Refer to J. Y. Jo et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. (in press)]. Based on this analysis, we found that the Zr ion-substitution for Ti ions would induce broad distributions in the local field due to defect dipoles, which makes the ferroelectric domain switching occur more easily.
