abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">We study numerically the switching behavior aspects and calibration effects relative to finite media embedding fully a three-dimensional ferroelectric layer
in a paraelectric environment. Our approach makes use of the Ginzburg-Landau
formalism in combination with the electrostatics equations. The associated discrete
nonlinear system, which arises from finite element approximations, is solved by an
inexact Newton method. The resulting numerical experiments highlight the effects
of a balance between the physical and geometrical parameters. In particular, the
same state switchings can be retrieved from different ferroelectric layer sizes by acting upon the physical characteristic of the paraelectric environment. Ferroelectric
platelet samples are in parallelepipedic and cylindrical configurations involved in
these experiments.</p>},
