Abstract
The dielectric hysteresis loops of a uniaxial triglycine sulfate (TGS) ferroelectric have been studied in a wide range of switching field frequencies. The experimental dependence of the coercive field on the switching frequency is compared with the Kolmogorov–Avrami domain switching model and the domain nucleation model. It is shown that both switching models agree reasonably well with the experiment and that the character of switched domain motion changes with a change in the switching field frequency.
