Multiferroic magnetoelectric composite systems such as ferromagnetic‐ferroelectric
heterostructures have recently attracted an ever‐increasing interest and provoked a great …

Predictions and measurements of the effect of biaxial strain on the properties of epitaxial
ferroelectric thin films and superlattices are reviewed. Results for single-layer ferroelectric …

Biaxial compressive strain has been used to markedly enhance the ferroelectric properties
of BaTiO3 thin films. This strain, imposed by coherent epitaxy, can result in a ferroelectric …

The broad spectrum of electronic and optical properties exhibited by oxides offers
tremendous opportunities for microelectronic devices, especially when a combination of …

The state of the art of thin-film pyroelectric infrared (IR) detectors is reviewed covering device
physics, material performance, micro-fabrication and device examples. Emphasis is given to …

Possible domain patterns are developed for (001) oriented (pseudocubic indexing) epitaxial
rhombohedral perovskite ferroelectric (FR) films. We assume that the films are grown above …

Disclinations together with dislocations represent a class of linear defects in solids.
Disclinations are characterized by typical singularities and the property of multi-value of the …

Abstract A Landau-Ginsburg-Devonshire-type nonlinear phenomenological theory is
presented, which enables the thermodynamic description of dense laminar polydomain …

We develop phase diagrams for single-domain epitaxial barium strontium titanate films on
cubic substrates as a function of the misfit strain based on a Landau–Devonshire …

We present in this article a review of the status of thin film ferroelectric materials for
nonvolatile memories. Key materials issues relevant to the integration of these materials on …
