TLDR
An experimental study of critical phenomena in thin ferroelectric films is presented in this paper, which conclusively demonstrates that the polarization in thin films is drastically reduced as a result of depolarization effects.Abstract:
An experimental study of critical phenomena in thin ferroelectric films is presented which, for the first time, conclusively demonstrates that the polarization in thin films is drastically reduced as a result of depolarization effects Other causes, like impurities, structural defects, and domain formation, which can lead to reduction of polarization, are ruled outread more

Electron emission from ferroelectrics
TL;DR: The electron emission from ferroelectrics (FEE) is an unconventional electron emission effect as discussed by the authors, which is a tunneling emission current which screens uncompensated polarization charges, generated by a deviation of macroscopic spontaneous polarization from its equilibrium state under pyroelectric effect, piezoelectric effect, or polarization switching.

TL;DR: The dislocation-induced polarization instability of (001)-oriented Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 (PZT) nanoislands is reported, suggesting that misfit engineering is indispensable for obtaining nanostructured ferroelectrics with stable polarization.
