Dynamic properties of phase diagram in cylindrical ferroelectric nanotubes

The dynamic properties of phase diagrams in cylindrical ferroelectric nanotubes were investigated by utilizing the effective-field theory with correlations. Three different structure mechanisms are discussed by performing three different interaction functions. Effects of structure factors of the ferroelectric nanotubes are shown in phase diagrams. A linear relation between the crossover value of transverse field in inner-layer of nanotube and the exchange interaction are revealed. Moreover, for the first time, the phase transition characteristics are shown both in 2-D and 3-D phase diagrams by comparing the variations of the ferroelectric region and the morphology vividly. In comparison, results of the usual mean-field approximation are also presented in some phase diagrams, it suggest that the differential operator technique with correlations reduces some extent of the ferroelectric features of the ferroelectric nanotube. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
