Electrocaloric effects in ferroelectrics and multiferroics from first principles
The electrocaloric (EC) effect characterizes the change in temperature or entropy of a material under the application of an external electric field. Ferroelectric and multiferroic materials have attracted considerable interest due to their potential for ...

Ultrahigh resolution of lead zirconate titanate 30/70 domains as imaged by piezoforce microscopy. [PDF]
Piezoforce microscopy (PFM) has been used to determine the domain structure of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) (30/70) on an indium tin oxide (ITO)/glass substrate with a TiO2 boundary layer.

This study presents a compact dynamic‐field‐driven nucleation and growth (DFNG) model that captures ferroelectric switching behavior under arbitrary voltage waveforms. It enables extraction of time‐dependent domain wall velocity and growth dimensionality, which can then be extended to device‐level modeling.

Is There A Pure Electronic Ferroelectric?
Different from traditional ferroelectrics whose polarization stems from ionic displacements mediated by phonons, electronic ferroelectrics exhibit spontaneous polarization originating from polar electronic ordering.

Ferroelectrics based absorbing layers
We show that ferroelectrics-based periodic structure made of BaSrTiO3 (BST) cubes, arrayed onto a metal plate with a thin dielectric spacer film exhibit a dramatic enhancement of absorbance with value close to unity.

Transducers convert physical signals into electrical and optical representations, yet each mechanism is bounded by intrinsic trade‐offs across bandwidth, sensitivity, speed, and energy. This review maps transduction mechanisms across physical scale and frequency, showing how heterogeneous integration and multiphysics co‐design transform isolated ...

Ferroelectrics at the Nanoscale
There are several factors which make the investigation and understanding of nanoscale ferroelectrics particularly timely and important. Firstly, there is a market pressure, primarily from the electronics industry, to integrate ferroelectrics into devices

Multimodal perovskite nanocrystals enable optical thermometry across multiple excitation and emission regimes, spanning the UV–Vis–NIR spectral range. By combining upconversion, downshifting, and persistent luminescence, the platform bridges conventional Boltzmann and non‐Boltzmann thermometric approaches.
