Abstract
The results of studying the linear and nonlinear dielectric properties of a new organic ferroelectric diisopropylammonium iodide (DIPAI), embedded in porous alumina films, in comparison with bulk DIPAI, are presented. It was found, for DIPAI in pores 300 and 60 nm in diameter the ferroelectric phase is formed in the heating and cooling modes in the temperature interval between two structural phase transitions above room temperature. No noticeable temperature hysteresis was observed for both phase transitions. It was shown that the boundaries of the intermediate polar phase for nanostructured DIPAI shift to low temperatures with decreasing pore size. For bulk DIPAI, two structural transitions were revealed during heating with the formation of an intermediate polar phase and only one transition during cooling, below which ferroelectricity occurred. The temperature of this transition was much lower than the corresponding temperature during heating. It is assumed that the observed differences in phase transitions for DIPAI in pores and bulk DIPAI are associated with acceleration of the phase transitions kinetics under conditions of nanoconfinement.
