Abstract

The ferroelectric properties of bulk BaMgF4 are determined by polarization hysteresis measurements. The spontaneous polarization Ps is found to be 6.6 μC/cm2, while the coercive field Ec varies between 4 and 24 kV/cm, depending exponentially on the frequency. Periodical poling of domains, with a 24 μm period, is demonstrated and evidenced by a selective domain etching. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
