Abstract

Hysteresis in ferroelectric materials is a strong non-linear phenomenon, the origin of which has drawn considerable attention. Based on the hopping probability function of the lattice-center ion crossing the ferroelectric double-well potential, a statistical mechanical theory is proposed to model ferroelectric hysteresis behavior. The hopping probability function is obtained from the statistical distribution function of ions in energy space, which is derived from the mathematical permutation and combination of the occupy-states of lattice-center ion. The calculated hysteresis agrees well with experimental measurements. In particular, the model provides interesting explanations to the polarization current and the coercive field, which differ from traditional microscopic models and thermodynamic theories.
