Abstract
We present results obtained by using a kinetic Ising model of polarization switching in multi-gain ferroelectric thin films. The system considered is three-dimensional and is composed of N×N grains with each grain sized L1×L2×L3. The next-nearest interaction was considered and grain boundary condition was simulated by changing the intensity of interaction between two dipoles in different grains. The simulation of anti-parallel domain evolution and switching current under various electric fields were performed. The effects of boundary condition and system size on the switching were investigated. Defect in system playing a role of nucleation was also studied.
