Chemical Doping Engineering of Polarization and Topological Textures in van der Waals Ferroelectric CuInP2S6

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Our work reports that Li⁺ doping in CuInP2S₆ induces coexistence of high‐ and low‐polarization states, which fosters a rich spectrum of topological polar textures, such as bubbles and labyrinth domains. An unconventional flexoelectric effect is also discovered, where strain gradients can mechanically manipulate these polarization states and their ...

Analysing Java's safety guarantees under concurrency [PDF]

open access: yesit – Information Technology, 2014
Abstract Two features distinguish Java from other main-stream programming languages like C and C++: its built-in support for concurrency and safety guarantees such as type safety or safe execution in a sandbox. In this work, we build a formal, unified model of Java concurrency, validate it empirically, and analyse it with respect to the ...
