Ferroelectric to paraelectric phase transition mechanism in poled PVDF-TrFE copolymer films
Abstract
Direct experimental insights into the structural and dynamical mechanisms for ferroelectric β to paraelectric α phase transition in a poled PVDF-TrFE copolymer is obtained from in situ x-ray diffraction and quasielastic neutron scattering measurements at high temperatures. It is observed that the β-to-α phase transition proceeds through two energetically distinct processes, which are identified here as the nucleation and growth of an intermediate γ phase with random skew linkages followed by a γ-to-α transition. The two energetically distinct microscopic processes can explain the stages of evolution for β-to-α phase transition observed from heat flow measurements.
