The discovery of ferroelectricity in two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials has
brought important functionalities to the 2D materials family, and may trigger a revolution in …

Ferroelectric materials, because of their robust spontaneous electrical polarization, are
widely used in various applications. Recent advances in modelling, synthesis and …

Abstract Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO 3, BFO) as one of the few single-phase room-temperature
multiferroics, has aroused ever-increasing enthusiasm in research communities during the …

Over the last 30 years, the study of ferroelectric oxides has been revolutionized by the
implementation of epitaxial‐thin‐film‐based studies, which have driven many advances in …

In conventional solid-state photovoltaics, electron–hole pairs are created by light absorption
in a semiconductor and separated by the electric field spaning a micrometre-thick depletion …

The celebrated renaissance of the multiferroics family over the past ten years has also been
that of its most paradigmatic member, bismuth ferrite (BiFeO 3). Known since the 1960s to be …

The growth and characterization of functional oxide thin films that are ferroelectric, magnetic,
or both at the same time are reviewed. The evolution of synthesis techniques and how …

Multiferroics are of interest for memory and logic device applications, as the coupling
between ferroelectric and magnetic properties enables the dynamic interaction between …

Erasable conductive domain walls in insulating ferroelectric thin films can be used for non-
destructive electrical read-out of the polarization states in ferroelectric memories. Still, the …

BiFeO3 is one of the most studied multiferroic materials. Both its magnetic and ferroelectric
properties can be influenced by doping. A large body of work on the doped material has …
