Due to the nature of domains, ferroics, including ferromagnetic, ferroelectric, and ferroelastic
materials, exhibit hysteresis phenomena with respect to external driving fields (magnetic …

Piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) has been used extensively for exploring nanoscale
ferro/piezoelectric phenomena over the past two decades. The imaging mechanism of PFM …

In this work, switching dynamics of poly (vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene)[P (VDF-TrFE)]
copolymer films are investigated over unprecedentedly wide ranges of temperature and …

Efficiency is defined as η=| Q|/| W| in order to investigate the electrical work| W| associated
with electrocaloric heat| Q|. This materials parameter indicates that polymer films are slightly …

We have demonstrated an effective electrical control of polarization in the individual
crystalline nanomesas of the ferroelectric polymer, poly (vinylidene fluoride) …

The invention of scanning tunneling and atomic force probes revolutionized our
understanding of surfaces by providing real-space information about the geometric and …

Ferroelectric polymer films offer strong advantages like mechanical flexibility,
biocompatibility, optical transparency, and low‐cost processing. However, their dielectric or …

Switching, ie, polarization reversal, of ferroelectric P (VDF-TrFE) thin films has been
investigated in a wide range of applied electric field and temperature. The measured …
