摘要:
The analytical description of transient switching characteristics in Form I poly(vinylidene fluoride) has previously been confined to the narrow time range where the switching current displays a modest peak under an applied dc field. We show here that this range can be broadened to include the entire switching process by considering the process to be composed of two successive events, the first involving only the nucleation of microdomains and the second entailing the random nucleation and two‐dimensional growth. The model has been successfully applied to data obtained at temperatures between 20 and −80 °C from a sample that had been either unirradiated or irradiated with &ggr; rays (10 Mrad). Furthermore, our analysis revealed that the irradiation, which enhances the retention characteristics of piezoelectric property at elevated temperatures, primarily affects the main switching process by suppressing the rate of nucleation.
