Abstract

The features of polarization reversal processes of ferroelectric crystals are analyzed under the condition that electron beams of a scanning electron microscope are injected into the subsurface layer of a sample. The proposed mathematical model describes the dynamics of the polarization switching of a ferroelectric crystal using the injection contact technique. The simulation relies on the basic principles of scale invariance in domain structure evolution. The polarization switching current of ferroelectric crystals is investigated as the dynamic characteristic of a finite medium exhibiting fractal behavior. The application of fractal and multifractal analysis of a time series enables us to calculate the fractal dimension of the polarization reversal process under injection conditions.
