Capacitor networks consisting of ferroelectric and non ferroelectric materials can be described using two different perspectives: either the Gibb’s energy minimization of the overall system, or the energy minimization of the ferroelectric capacitor alone, followed by Kirchhoff’s laws used to connect the individual capacitors. This paper revisits the physics behind the networks of ferroelectric and non ferroelectric capacitors, and it helps reconcile the two above perspectives and the corresponding modelling methodologies.

Abstract

Capacitor networks consisting of ferroelectric and non ferroelectric materials can be described using two different perspectives: either the Gibb’s energy minimization of the overall system, or the energy minimization of the ferroelectric capacitor alone, followed by Kirchhoff’s laws used to connect the individual capacitors. This paper revisits the physics behind the networks of ferroelectric and non ferroelectric capacitors, and it helps reconcile the two above perspectives and the corresponding modelling methodologies.
