Studies of Structure and Switching Dynamics in Ferroelectric Crystal and Liquid Crystal Thin Films

Abstract

The structure and switching dynamics of ferroelectric solid state and liquid crystal thin films were investigated experimentally using x-ray scattering, optical microscopy and microspectroscopy, and by raman spectroscopy. Applications of crystalline piezoelectric ferroelectric films, formed by sol gel and sputter deposition and ferroelectric liquid crystal devices were studied for application. Keywords: Ferroelectric crystals; Ferroelectric liquid crystals; Ferroelectric thin films.
