A detailed ab initio model of ferroelectric ordering in thin films shows that phase transitions
and ferroelectric bistability occur down to diameters of 3.2 nm in nanodisks and nanorods …

Renewed interest in the evolution of the ferroelectric phase transition temperature TC and
the character of ordering of ferroelectric polarizations with finite size and shape is driven in …

Typically, polarization and strain in ferroelectric materials are coupled, leading to the
generally accepted direct relation between polarization and unit-cell tetragonality. Here, by …

Bulk ferroelectrics undergo structural phase transformations at low temperatures, giving
multi-stable (that is, multiple-minimum) degenerate states with spontaneous polarization …

Ferroelectric materials—which, despite their name, do not neces-sarily need to contain iron—
display spontaneous electric polarization that is switchable by an external electric field …

The nature of the “forbidden” local-and long-range polar order in nominally non-polar
paraelectric phases of ferroelectric materials has been an open question since the discovery …

Ferroelectricity in finite-dimensional systems continues to arouse interest, motivated by
predictions of vortex polarization states and the utility of ferroelectric nanomaterials in …

Ferroelectricity on the nanoscale has been the subject of much fascination in condensed-
matter physics for over half a century. In recent years, multiple reports claiming …

Complex insulating perovskite alloys are of considerable technological interest because of
their large dielectric and piezoelectric responses. Examples of such alloys include (Ba1-x Sr …
