Abstract

The effective field theory (EFT) based on the transverse Ising model (TIM) is used to study the layer and average polarizations of multi-surface ferroelectric thin film. The effects of the transverse fields and the exchange interactions on the polarization are discussed. It is obvious that the polarizations are affected explicitly by the TIM parameters, and the larger the exchange interactions, the larger the layer and average polarizations. Our theoretical predictions may be a reference for future work in studying the phase transition properties of ferroelectric thin films.
