Electrical poling is of much interest for the enhancement of polarization properties of ferroelectric materials such as poly(vinylidene-trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFE)] in applications ranging from memory devices to piezoelectric actuation. Here, we report the changes in dielectric and optical pro...
