Asymmetry of the Ferroelectric Phase Transition in BaTiO3

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 25, 4 May 2026.
Phase transitions are typically assumed to behave identically in forward and reverse. This work shows that in the ferroelectric material barium titanate this is not true: heating drives an abrupt, first‐order jump, while cooling gives a smooth, continuous change.

Ferroelectric Properties and Ambipolar Carrier Transport of 9-Fluorenone-Based Liquid Crystals

Crystals
The functional integration of chiral liquid crystals and π-conjugated compounds has great potential for creating novel exotic materials. A series of chiral donor–acceptor (D–A)-type fluorenone derivatives was synthesized to investigate the influence of ...

Resolving Complex Multiscale Structure of Magneto‐ and Electroactive Polymer Composites With an Ionic Liquid

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 25, 4 May 2026.
Multiscale ionic liquid segregation into nano‐sized domains in the unconfined amorphous polymer phase and into micron‐sized pores enables a coupled magneto‐ and electroactive responses. ABSTRACT A multiscale understanding of the structure of ionogels – nanoparticle‐free polymer composites incorporating ionic liquids – is essential for enhancing their ...

Versatile Magneto‐Dielectric Response of Epitaxial Thin Films of the High Entropy Oxide Perovskite Nd(Cr0.2Mn0.2Fe0.2Co0.2Ni0.2)O3

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 26, 8 May 2026.
The magnetic high entropy oxide perovskite Nd(Cr0.2Mn0.2Fe0.2Co0.2Ni0.2)O3 exhibits a substantially large dielectric constant (εr) at room temperature, which shows distinct anionic and cationic contributions in the form of zero and finite bias peaks, respectively, down to its magnetic transition temperature (Tmag).
