Recipes for improper ferroelectricity in molecular perovskites

Nature Communications, 2018
In layered inorganic materials lattice distortions can couple to break inversion symmetry and drive improper ferroelectricity, but in perovskites, symmetry prohibits such an effect.

Polar magnetic oxides from chemical ordering: A new class of multiferroics

APL Materials, 2020
Combining ferroelectricity and magnetism in the same material remains a challenge because it involves complex crystal chemistry and stringent symmetry requirements. In conventional ferroelectrics, the polarization arises from the second-order Jahn–Teller

Coupled Ferroelectric–Photoelectrochemical in Water Reduction Over BiFeO3 Thin Film Heterostructure Modulated by Rare‐Earth Doping

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Gd‐doped BFO (BGFO) exhibits a ∼2‐order reduction in leakage current owing to its lowest content of oxygen vacancies. This leads to a ∼2.5‐fold increase in remnant polarization. These improvements in BGFO effectively boost charge separation and transportation, resulting in the greatest incident photon‐to‐current efficiency of 12.9 ± 0.73% and a ∼1.5 ...

Near‐Sensor Analog Computing via Monolithic 3D Piezoelectric Sensor–FeFET for Tactile Sensing System

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A monolithic 3D‐integrated tactile system combines a piezoelectric sensor and ferroelectric field‐effect transistor (FeFET) to process both static and dynamic pressure signals directly at the sensor node. The system enables in‐sensor analog noise filtering with multi‐level memory states, achieving high sensitivity and ultra‐low power operation (≈10 nW),

In Situ Study of Resistive Switching in a Nitride‐Based Memristive Device

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In situ TEM biasing experiment demonstrates the volatile I‐V characteristic of MIM lamella device. In situ STEM‐EELS Ti L2/L3 ratio maps provide direct evidence of the oxygen vacancies migrations under positive/negative electrical bias, which is critical for revealing the RS mechanism for the MIM lamella device.
