Exceptional Electro‐Optic Coefficient Unlocked via Polarization Swaying in KNbO3 Thin Films
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.We present the largest reported electro‐optic response in any material to date, guided by a new design principle that exploits ultralow coercive field polarization swaying enabled by low‐symmetry ferroelectric phases in monoclinic KNbO3 thin films for energy‐efficient classical and quantum photonic integrated circuits. ABSTRACT The electro‐optic effect

Efficient Magnetization Switching Driven by Orbital Torque in Light 3d Transition‐Metal Nitrides
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Efficient magnetization switching is demonstrated through orbital torque generated from light 3d transition‐metal nitride. Transition‐metal nitrides are established as effective sources of orbital angular momentum for current‐induced switching, highlighting their potential for low‐power next‐generation orbitronic devices beyond conventional heavy‐metal‐
