Abstract
The pyroelectric properties and the Curie temperature of a ferroelectric/fe rroelectric superlattice are studied for the transverse Ising model. Two py roelectric peaks are found for large-period superlattices. The pyroelectric peak at low temperatures disappears when the period is small enough. Certa in layers in small-period superlattices remain ferroelectric above the Curi e temperature of their bulk material. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Scienc e Ltd. AU rights reserved.
