摘要
Extending the well-established laser intensity modulation method (LIMM) by means of sequential frequency modulation represents a new approach for obtaining polarization depth profiles at both high spatial (nanometer) and temporal (millisecond) resolution. Thin films of the archetypal, organic, ferroelectric copolymer poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-trifluoroethylene) P(VDF-TrFE) were investigated in this manner to assess local switching kinetics. For subcoercive field conditions of 5 MV/m, the central regions of 2000 nm thick samples show a "bulk"-like, uniform polarization switching behaviour at a time-scale of 250 ms. In contrast, a 100 nm thick region near the metal-polymer interface reveals clear deviations from bulk switching kinetics. This likely reflects local charge generation/injection and trapping effects.
