Fractional quantum ferroelectricity
Nature Communications, 2023 For an ordinary ferroelectric, the magnitude of the spontaneous electric polarization is at least one order of magnitude smaller than that resulting from the ionic displacement of the lattice vectors, and the direction of the spontaneous electric ...

Ferroelectricity enhancement in ferroelectric nanotubes [PDF]
Phase Transitions, 2007 In this paper we study the size effects of the ferroelectric nanotube phase diagrams and polar properties allowing for effective surface tension and depolarization field influence. The approximate analytical expression for the paraelectric-ferroelectric transition temperature dependence on the radii of nanotube, polarization gradient coefficient ...

A ferroelectric memristor [PDF]
Nature Materials, 2012 Memristors are continuously tunable resistors that emulate synapses. Conceptualized in the 1970s, they traditionally operate by voltage-induced displacements of matter, but the mechanism remains controversial. Purely electronic memristors have recently emerged based on well-established physical phenomena with albeit modest resistance changes.

The Rise of Ferroelectricity at Nanoscale: Nanoelectronics is rediscovering the ferroelectricity
IEEE Nanotechnology Magazine, 2021 We present a comprehensive review of the emerging nanoscale ferroelectric materials used in novel nanoelectronics devices. First, we outline specific physical and electronic properties of ferroelectric materials, then we focus on two main classes of ferroelectrics based on hafnium oxide (HfO2) and 2D materials.
