Optical Manipulation of Multiferroic Phases in BiFeO3 Thin Films
Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 7, 7 April 2026.At the strain‐driven morphotropic phase boundary, optical control over the multiferroic rhombohedral and tetragonal phase mixture is demonstrated using above‐bandgap light illumination. The photoinduced charge carriers modify the electrostatic environment and induce the conversion into a single tetragonal phase.

Proximity Ferroelectricity in Compositionally Graded Structures
Advanced Electronic Materials, Volume 12, Issue 7, 6 April 2026.We perform the finite element modeling of the polarization switching in the compositionally graded AlN‐Al1‐xScxN and ZnO‐Zn1‐xMgxO structures and reveal the switching of spontaneous polarization in the whole structure in all these systems. The coercive field to switch is significantly lower than the electric breakdown field of the unswitchable AlN and ...
