A review of the present status, recent enhancements, and applicability of the S iesta program
is presented. Since its debut in the mid-1990s, S iesta's flexibility, efficiency, and free …

The past decade has witnessed dramatic progress related to various aspects of emergent
topological polar textures in oxide nanostructures displaying vortices, skyrmions, merons …

The stability of spontaneous electrical polarization in ferroelectrics is fundamental to many of
their current applications, which range from the simple electric cigarette lighter to non …

Flexoelectricity—the coupling between polarization and strain gradients—is a universal
effect allowed by symmetry in all materials. Following its discovery several decades ago …

Epitaxial growth of SrTiO 3 on silicon by molecular beam epitaxy has opened up the route to
the integration of functional complex oxides on a silicon platform. Chief among them is …

Chirality is a geometrical property by which an object is not superimposable onto its mirror
image, thereby imparting a handedness. Chirality determines many important properties in …

ABO3 perovskites have fascinated solid-state chemists and physicists for decades because
they display a seemingly inexhaustible variety of chemical and physical properties …

Electrostatic capacitors attract great interest in energy storage fields due to their advantages
of high power‐density, fast charge/discharge speed, and great reliability. Intensive efforts …

Observation of a new type of nanoscale ferroelectric domains, termed as “bubble domains”—
laterally confined spheroids of sub‐10 nm size with local dipoles self‐aligned in a direction …

Antiferroelectric materials have seen a resurgence of interest because of proposed
applications in a number of energy-efficient technologies. Unfortunately, relatively few …
