Polarization switching and AC small-signal capacitance in Ferroelectric Tunnel Junctions

We here report a joint experimental and simulation analysis for large signal P-V and AC small-signal C-V curves in ferroelectric tunnel junctions. The attempt to reproduce both experimental data sets with the same model and material parameters challenges our understanding of the underlying physics, but it also helps develop a sound background for the device design.
