Abstract
A dynamic method for quantitatively determining the pyroelectric coefficient of thin films is presented. The technique offers several advantages over competitive techniques. These advantages include,
• | the ability to distinguish between reversible (pyroelectric) and irreversible thermally induced currents, | ||||
• | a facility to study time-varying pyroelectric responses, | ||||
• | more rapid determinations at room temperature, and | ||||
• | higher measurement precision. |
