A 3D-printed molecular ferroelectric metamaterial [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2020 Significance Molecular ferroelectrics, which show the ability to switch the electromechanical activity by an external electric field, establish the basis for mechanical metamaterial technologies. Despite their theoretical promise, such mechanical metamaterials remain hindered by the lack of adaptive stimuli-responsive materials which ...

Molecular ferroelectrics: where electronics meet biology. [PDF]
Phys Chem Chem Phys, 2013 In the last several years, we have witnessed significant advances in molecular ferroelectrics, with the ferroelectric properties of molecular crystals approaching those of barium titanate. In addition, ferroelectricity has been observed in biological systems, filling an important missing link in bioelectric phenomena.

Recipes for improper ferroelectricity in molecular perovskites [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 AbstractThe central goal of crystal engineering is to control material function via rational design of structure. A particularly successful realisation of this paradigm is hybrid improper ferroelectricity in layered perovskite materials, where layering and cooperative octahedral tilts combine to break inversion symmetry.

Solvent Selective Effect Occurs in Iodinated Adamantanone Ferroelectrics
Advanced Science, 2022 Organic ferroelectrics, as a type of crystalline compound, are generally solution processing. However, for most crystalline compounds, the changing of solvent would not influence the crystalline phase, let alone their physical performance.
