Illuminating the Origins of Ferroelectric‐Induced Photocurrent and Hole Lifetime Enhancement in BaTiO3 Photoanodes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The use of ferroelectric polarization to enhance photocatalytic and photoelectrocatalytic activity is an innovative, and increasingly studied route to improve the spatial separation of charge carriers and therefore enhance catalytic efficiency. These results demonstrate how the intrinsic properties of a ferroelectric film can extend charge carrier ...

Vortex ferroelectric domains

Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2008
We show experimental switching data on microscale capacitors of lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT), which reveal time-resolved domain behavior during switching on a 100-ns scale. For small circular capacitors, an unswitched domain remains in the center while complete switching is observed in square capacitors.

High Performance Room Temperature Multiferroic Properties of w‐MnSe Altermagnet

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Using first‐principles calculations, for the first time the Altermagneto‐Ferroelectric Coupling Effect (AFCE) is proposed, which enables control of both electric polarization and spin splitting in the band structure due to polyhedral rotations. This uncovers robust multiferroicity in wurtzite MnSe at room temperature, offering an exciting route for ...

Optoelectronic Devices for In‐Sensor Computing

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The raw data obtained directly from sensors in the noisy analogue domain is often unstructured, which lacks a predefined format or organization and does not conform to a specific data model. Optoelectronic devices for in‐sensor visual processing can integrate perception, memory, and processing functions in the same physical units, which can compress ...
