Abstract
The polarization switching in ferroelectric thin films was analyzed. A finite element code was developed and the code was used to predict the nucleation and growth of domains in ferroelectric thin films. The analysis showed that initially the switched zone was of a dagger shape but after the penetration of thin films by the switched zone it changes to the shape of a reversed cup.
