Abstract

Interface structures in double-layer ferroelectrics comprising two distinct layers of different polarization properties, with bilinear interface coupling across the interface, are examined analytically within the framework of Landau–Ginzburg phenomenological theory. The structures are investigated for coupled layers with: (i) one layer in paraelectric phase and the other in ferroelectric phase (ferroelectric–paraelectric), and (ii) both layers in ferroelectric phases (ferroelectric–ferroelectric). The effects of interfacial coupling on the total interface structure energies, interfacial coupling energies and mismatch in polarization across the interface are discussed.
