## Abstract

We classify the switching kinetics of ferroelectrics including both epitaxial/polycrystalline thin films and single-crystalline/ceramic bulks at various applied fields into four categories, depending on whether the depolarization field and/or the polarization reversal induced by the switching promotion effect between adjacent parts can be neglected. We show that our statistical model developed very recently \[Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter 21, 012207 (2009)\] in its generalized form applies to all these four categories. Finally we make the comparison between our model and the conventional Kolmogorov-Avrami-Ishibashi model and discuss the behavior of the switching currents for different n.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
