Ferroelectric or non-ferroelectric: Why so many materials exhibit “ferroelectricity” on the nanoscale [PDF]
Applied Physics Reviews, 2017 Ferroelectric materials have remained one of the major focal points of condensed matter physics and materials science for over 50 years. In the last 20 years, the development of voltage-modulated scanning probe microscopy techniques, exemplified by Piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) and associated time- and voltage spectroscopies, opened a pathway to

Ferroelectric Dead Layer Driven by a Polar Interface [PDF]
, 2010 Based on first-principles and model calculations we investigate the effect of polar interfaces on the ferroelectric stability of thin-film ferroelectrics. As a representative model, we consider a TiO2-terminated BaTiO3 film with LaO monolayers at the two

Kinetically stabilized ferroelectricity in bulk single-crystalline HfO2:Y [PDF]
Nature Materials, 2020 HfO2, a simple binary oxide, exhibits ultra-scalable ferroelectricity integrable into silicon technology. This material has a polymorphic nature, with the polar orthorhombic (Pbc21) form in ultrathin films regarded as the plausible cause of ...
