Polarization Switching in Langmuir-Blodgett PVDF Copolymer Thin Films

Abstract

Langmuir-Blodgett P(VDF-TrFE) 70:30 films consisting of 30 and 100 monolayers were electrically characterized. The films are sandwiched between aluminum electrodes. Film preparation was carried out by Prof. Dr. V. Blinov, Institute of Crystallography of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moskow. A detailed description of the films is given in [ 1 Blinov, L.
