The investigation of two‐dimensional (2D) ferroelectrics has attracted significant interest in
recent years for applications in functional electronics. Without the limitation of a finite size …

The coupling of waves between the piezoelectric generators, detectors, and propagating
media is challenging due to mismatch in the acoustic properties. The mismatch leads to the …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) materials have emerged as promising candidates for various
optoelectronic applications based on their diverse electronic properties, ranging from …

Coexistence of reversible polar distortions and metallicity leading to a ferroelectric metal,
first suggested by Anderson and Blount in 1965, has so far remained elusive. Electrically …

Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 is one of the Aurivillius-type layered perovskite oxides with superior
photocatalytic effect, however, the further enhancement of this effect is limited by the high …

The current trend in the miniaturization of electronic devices has driven the investigation into
many nanostructured materials. The ferroelectric material barium titanate (BaTiO3) has …

A bit more than a decade after the first report of ferroelectric switching in hafnium dioxide-
based ultrathin layers, this family of materials continues to elicit interest. There is ample …

Piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) detects the local piezoelectric deformation of a
sample caused by an applied electric field from the tip of a scanning force microscope. PFM …
