“…SCLC. Here, we have deliberately aborted the assumption of a perfectly insulating ferroelectric film, as adopted by some other schools of thought (Alpay et al, 2003;Mantese & Alpay, 2005;Okatan et al, 2010), because experimental observations of small but finite leakage currents, as well as of SCLC currents, have been widely reported in the literature for ferroelectrics and other solid dielectrics (Bouregba et al, 2003;Carbone et al, 2005;Coelho, 1979;Laha & Krupanidhi, 2002;Pope & Swemberg, 1998;Poullain et al, 2002;Suh et al, 2000) and they form a subject of their own (Pope & Swemberg, 1998). For our consideration of SCLC in compositionally graded ferroelectric films, the MottGurney law J ~ V 2 does not apply, due to the following reasons: (i) In the case of a timevarying applied voltage, there is also the presence of displacement currents so that the conduction current J , which now does not necessarily equal the total current, could be varying with position, i.e.…”
