ABSTRACTA new computational method for simulating the dynamics of switching in ferroelectric materials is presented. The new method is shown to be more realistic for dynamic simulations and computationally more efficient than the traditional Monte Carlo method. The method is used to investigate the effect of polar defects on switching behavior. The results are in qualitative agreement with experimental observations of fatigue.

Kinetic Monte Carlo Method

Arrays of nanosized three dimensional islands are known to self-assemble spontaneously on strained heteroepitaxial thin films. We simulate the dynamics using kinetic Monte Carlo method based on a ball and spring lattice model. Green's function and super-particle methods which greatly enhance the computational efficiency are explained.
