Based on a modified Ising model in a transverse field we demonstrate that defect layers in ferroelectric thin films, such as layers with impurities, vacancies or dislocations, are able to induce a strong increase or decrease of the polarization depending on the variation of the exchange interaction within the defect layers. A Green's function technique enables us to calculate the polarization, the excitation energy and the critical temperature of the material with structural defects. Numerically we find the polarization as function of temperature, film thickness and the interaction strengths between the layers. The theoretical results are in reasonable accordance to experimental datas of different ferroelectric thin films.
