Up until recently, researchers thought they had the behaviors of ferroelectric materials mostly figured out. “The conventional wisdom is that you can put almost any material under mechanical stress, ...

Studying ferroelectric materials can be done with the help of piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM), due to the sensitivity and nanometer-level resolution it inherits from AFM. Bruker discusses the ...

Chirality-induced relaxor properties in ferroelectric polymers. Nature Materials, 2020; DOI: 10.1038/s41563-020-0724-6 ...

The advantages of Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 The negative capacitance is a direct result of the intrinsic energy barrier between two stable polarization states of the ferroelectric layer, he says. In regular ...

FERROELECTRIC STUDIES AT FLEET Ferroelectric materials are keenly studied at FLEET (the ARC Centre of Excellence in Future Low-Energy Electronics Technologies) for their potential use in low ...

Changing phase: antiferroelectric-to-ferroelectric phase transition. (Courtesy: Advanced Materials CC BY 4.0) Reduced beyond a certain size, antiferroelectric materials become ferroelectric. This new ...

Researchers claim that using several very thin layers of ferroelectric crystals can lead to significantly better ferroelectric solar cell efficiency. But don’t pull the panels off your roof y… ...

Unlike conventional electrostatic doping, the ferroelectric field formed by the orderly arrangement of the dipoles at the interface is non-volatile. The polarization direction of ferroelectric ...

Gallium nitride (GaN)-based high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) are a type of field-effect transistors (FETs) designed ...

Ferroelectric FETs and memories are beginning to show promise as researchers begin developing and testing next-generation transistors. One measure of the efficiency of a transistor is the subthreshold ...
