Dipolar relaxation in thin films of supramolecular stacks of benzenecarboxamides and insights to enhance their ferroelectric characteristics
Literature Information
Divya B. Korlepara, Sundaram Balasubramanian
The relationship between molecular structure and ferroelectric behaviour of thin films is explored in an all-organic supramolecular polymer material based on benzenecarboxamides, using atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. While increasing the number of amide groups around the phenyl core increases the dipole density of a molecule, increasing the length of the corresponding alkyl groups decreases the same. The interplay between these two contributions displays a rich behaviour on key material characteristics, in particular, the polarisation retention time. The latter is shown to be inversely proportional to the alkyl chain length, a consequence of weaker interactions between macrodipoles of stacks. Polarisation retention time was observed to be the highest in a molecule with five amide groups around the aromatic phenyl core which is explained as due to the large barrier for amide group rotation, which is one of the crucial channels for dipolar relaxation. Simulations also demonstrate that the barrier, however, does not affect the switchability of polarization, upon field reversal.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
