A novel way to eliminate the conductivity effect of polycrystalline ferroelectric material

The double-wave method is widely used in ferroelectric measurements to eliminate the effects of conductance and capacitance components while preserving the ferroelectric domain contribution. However, in polycrystalline ferroelectric material, the assumption of the evolution of domains by the double-wave method no longer applies due to the domain back switch of de-field, and the domain contribution calculated by the current subtraction method is also problematic. Therefore, we proposed a new method to calculate the charge contribution of conductance and eliminate the conductance interference in the hysteresis loop. Finally, the feasibility of this new method is verified in many typical polycrystalline ferroelectric materials. This work provides a path for the study of ferroelectric properties of some high conductivity materials. Published under an exclusive license by AIP Publishing.
