When a ferroelectric film has an inhomogeneous distribution of charged defects, a voltage shift in the polarization curve is induced by the internal field generated in the film. The direction and the magnitude of voltage shift in the P-V hysteresis curves obtained by the Sawyer-Tower method are different from those obtained by the virtual ground method. In this study, the asymmetric behavior in the P-V hysteresis curves of inhomogeneous ferroelectric films was investigated with a physical model and the polarization curves obtained by the Sawyer-Tower and the virtual ground methods are compared.

Measurement of the ferroelectric polarization hysteresis curve is an important means of overall evaluation and interpretation of the ferroelectric structure and dielectric properties. If a resistive component is included in the ferroelectric sample, an error is included in the measured value of the spontaneous polarization. When configuring the electrical circuit to measure the polarization, by properly utilizing the external resistance corresponding to the resistive component included in the sample, the error due to the resistive loss of the sample was excluded and the size of the ferroelectric polarization induced inside could be accurately measured. It is expected that the displacement and dielectric characteristics of ions inside the ferroelectric can be more accurately evaluated through the evaluation of such an accurate polarization hysteresis curve.

A Piezoelectric actuator yields hysteresis effect due to its composed ferroelectric. Hysteresis nonlinearity is neglected when a piezoelectric actuator moves with short stroke. However when it moves with long stroke and high frequency, the hysteresis nonlinearity can not be neglected. The hysteresis nonlinearity of piezoelectric actuator degrades the control performance in precision position control. In this paper, in order to improve the control performance of piezoelectric actuator, an inverse modeling scheme is proposed to compensate the hysteresis nonlinearity problem. And feedforward-feedforward-feedback controller is proposed to give a good tracking performance. The Feedforward controller is inverse hysteresis model, and PID control is sued as a feedback controller. To show the feasibility of the proposed controller and hysteresis modeling, some experiments have been carried out. It is concluded hat the proposed control scheme gives good tracking performance.

Pb(Zr$_{x}$Ti$_{1-x}$ )O$_{3}$ solutions prepared by sol-gel processing with different Zr/Ti ratio were coated on Pt/SiO$_{2}$/Si substrates using spin coating method. Coated films were annealed by rapid thermal annealing at 650.deg. C for 20sec to fabricate Pb(Zr, Ti)O$_{3}$ ferroelectric thin films. Electrical properties of the films such as dielectric constant and loss, ferroelectric hysteresis, fatigue, switching time, and leakage current were measured. Hysteresis of the films with different Zr/Ti ratio yield Pr ranging 10-21.mu.C/cm$^{2}$, E$_{c}$ ranging 37.5-137.5kV/cm. Hysteresis curve was changed from square-type to slim type according to increasing Zr contents. Switching time was faster than 180ns, and leakage current was about 20.mu.A/cm$^{2}$. The film underwent above 10$^{8}$ cycles of reversed polarization showed fatigue with increased coercive field and decreased remnant polarization.tion.

Errors and its compensation in the measurement of dielectric hysteresis in ferroelectric by using Sawyer-Tower circuit were discussed. When ferroelectrics are lossy, remanent polarization and coercive field are likely to be over-estimated. As the DC conductivity and measuring time increases, measurement errors in ferroelectric properties increase. Current hysteresis measurement was suggested for compensation such errors.

We have found that the hysteretic behavior of a polymer stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystal system coincides with Blinov et. al's model qualitatively. The hysteresis inversion frequency could be promoted up to 7000 Hz by connecting external capacitor and resistor in serial. In addition, the influence of temperature and the amplitude of the applied field on hysteresis-free switching of the cell could be minimized.

We provided a model for accurately computing the Hysteresis characteristics of the ferrelectric thin film capacitors. This model is developed form the semi-empirical ferroelectric model based on the double well harmonic oscillator. We have seen that this model is consistent with physical analysis using the Preisach's hysteresis distribution. This model includes the parameters representing the slope of changing Hysteresis curves and the imprint of ferroelectric capacitors. Besides, we showed that this model could predict accurate sub-hystersis loop by the turning points when the polarities of applied voltage were changed before saturation. The simulation and measurement result showed that this model is well applicable to both PZT and SBT materials. This model has been described by AHDL and successfully implemented into Spectre simulator to provide circuit design environment of commercial CAD tools such as Cadence software.

In this study, in order to develop relaxor ferroelectric ceramics for refrigeration device application with large electrocaloric effect, PLZT(8/65/35) composition was fabricated using conventional solid-state method. The Curi temperature of this composition PLZT ceramics was $230^{\circ}C$, and the P-E hysteresis loops of the PLZT ceramics as a fuction of temperature became slim by degrees with higher temperatures. The maximum value of ${\Delta}T$ of $0.243^{\circ}C$ in ambient temperature of $215^{\circ}C$ with 30 kV/cm was appeared. It is considered that PLZT ceramics possess the possibility of refrigeration device application.

0.75(Bi_1/2Na_1/2)TiO₃-0.25SrTiO₃ (BNT-25ST) ceramics with high densities were successfully prepared at a sintering temperature of 1,000℃ by adding a mixture of 1 mol% CuO and 0.5 mol% Na₂CO₃ or 0.5 mol% CuO and 0.25 mol% Na₂CO₃. Double polarization-electric field (P-E) hysteresis curves and sprout-shaped bipolar strain-electric field (S-E) hysteresis curves with small negative strains were observed in the pristine and CuO-added BNT-25ST ceramics whereas the Na₂CO₃-added sample showed similar P-E and S-E curves to a typical ferroelectric. The pristine BNT-25ST ceramics showed an extremely large strain and a large-signal piezoelectric strain constant (d₃₃^*): 0.287 % at 80 kV/cm and 850 pm/V at 20 kV/cm. Similar values, 0.248 % at 80 kV/cm and 655 pm/V at 20 kV/cm, were obtained in the CuO-added sample. However, the pristine and CuO-added samples showed large hysteresis in unipolar S-E curves at an electric field of less than 20 kV/cm. The Na₂CO₃-added sample showed smaller values of the strain and d₃₃^* but displayed a linear change and small hysteresis in the unipolar S-E curve. The co-added sample with CuO and Na₂CO₃ displayed intermediate P-E and S-E hysteresis curves.

D-E hysteresis loops have been measured for the 65/35 mole % copolymer of vinylidene fluoride and trifIuoroethyIene over wide temperature range. The results were analyzed and discussed. The remanent polarization and the coercive field at room termperature were estimated to be 75 $mC/m^3$ and 55 MV/m respectively. D-E hysteresis loops were observed even below the glass transiation temperature$-20^{\circ}C$) and the remanent polarization and the coercive field were larger than larger, as the temperature lower. It seems that the remanent polarization and the coercive field depend on the amorphous region as well as crystalline region in this copolymer. And the ferroelectric-to-paraelectric phase transition was observed at $90^{\circ}C$ on heating and $80^{\circ}C$ on cooling. Double hysteresis loops were observed at the temperature($85^{\circ}C$) of paraelectric phase.
