With thickness tuneable properties, a material offering precise UV light manipulation, letting photonics developers create ...

An ultrathin ferroelectric capacitor, designed by researchers from Japan, demonstrates strong electric polarization despite ...

An ultrathin ferroelectric capacitor demonstrates strong electric polarization despite being just 30 nm thick including top ...

Ferroelectric crystals are a special class of materials that exhibit spontaneous electric polarization, which can be reversed by applying an external electric field. These crystals have a ...

A technical paper titled “Two-dimensional ferroelectricity in a single-element bismuth monolayer” was published by researchers at National University of Singapore, Zhejiang University, Tianjin ...

Scientists have discovered that ordinary ice is a flexoelectric material, capable of generating electricity when bent or unevenly deformed. At very low temperatures, it can even become ferroelectric, ...

The effect: polarisation and electric field are pointing in the same direction. With positive d33, the sample expands, whereas the material is contracting when d33 is negative. Since 2011, it has been ...

Controlling magnetic states in materials typically requires continuous power or only works in rare, specialized systems. Researchers developed a general theory showing how electric fields can ...

The word “piezo” derives from the Greek word piezein, meaning “to press tightly”. Piezoelectricity refers to a material’s ability to convert mechanical energy (pressing) into electric energy ...
