Abstract

Within the framework of the phenomenological Ginzburg-Landau theory influence of metallic electrodes on the properties of thin ferroelectric films is considered. The contribution of the metallic electrodes with different screening length of carriers is included in functional of free energy. The influence of conventional metallic electrodes on the depolarization field and the film properties was shown to be practically the same as for superconductive ones.
