For the first time switchable ferroelectric Langmuir-Blodgett films ar
e prepared and investigated. The films with a regular multilayered str
ucture are prepared from the ferroelectric copolymer of vinylidene flu
oride with trifluoroethylene P(VDF-TrFE). The films with the thickness
of 150 Angstrom show a phase transition of the first order and a bist
able switching of the remanent polarization. Films thinner than 100 An
gstrom show only monostable switching.
