Optical second harmonic generation probe of two-dimensional ferroelectricity
Optical second harmonic generation (SHG) is used as a noninvasive probe of
two-dimensional (2D) ferroelectricity in Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of
copolymer vinylidene fluoride with trifluorethylene. The surface 2D
ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition in the topmost layer of LB films
and a thickness independent (almost 2D) transition in the bulk of these films
are observed in temperature studies of SHG.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figures, Optics Letters, in prin
