Unlike the conventional high-frequency dielectric behavior for which the amplitude of the
applied field is too small to cause polarization switching, the dynamically-driven polarization …

In this work we use a phenomenological theory of ferroelectric switching in BiFeO 3 thin films
to uncover the mechanism of the two-step process that leads to the reversal of the weak …

Just as fine precipitate dispersions are sought for high yield strength in alloys, nanoscale,
mixed-phase microstructures are sought for high electromechanical performance in oxide …

We present the results of high-resolution simulations of the ferroelectric domain evolution in
polycrystalline lead zirconate titanate (PZT), using a phase-field framework that accounts for …

Our understanding of the rate-dependent electro-mechanical response of ferroelectric
ceramics is incomplete–primarily due to limited experimental data characterizing the …

When subjected to electro-mechanical loading, ferroelectrics see their polarization evolve
through the nucleation and evolution of domains. Existing mesoscale phase-field models for …

Predicting and controlling the rate-dependent electro-mechanical switching in ferroelectric
ceramics is challenging due to our current lack of understanding the underlying domain …

Negative capacitance effects with fast response times hold great potential for reducing the
power consumption in high-frequency nanoelectronics. Nevertheless, the negative …

Extensive studies have shown that (110)-oriented ferroelectric films exhibit unique structures
and excellent physical properties compared with (001)-oriented ferroelectric films. Showing …

A conceptual problem of the electric-field-mediated polarization correlations during a
stochastic formation of polarization domain structure in ferroelectrics is addressed by using …
