Abstract

A phase-field model is developed to elucidate the process of polarization switching in BiFeO₃ thin film. The results demonstrated an energy-favorable mechanism for domain switching path and revealed possible ferroelectric domain switching modes. It is shown that 71° switching is dominant among the three possible switching paths, namely 71°, 109° and 180° switching. This might provide significant references for the application of ferroelectric materials under electric fields.
