Abstract Two‐dimensional (2D) nanosheets, which possess atomic or molecular thickness
and infinite planar lengths, are regarded as the thinnest functional nanomaterials. The …

Complex transition metal oxides span a wide range of crystalline structures and play host to
an incredible variety of physical phenomena. High dielectric permittivities, piezo-, pyro-, and …

Long viewed as a topic in classical physics, ferroelectricity can be described by a quantum
mechanical ab initio theory. Thin-film nanoscale device structures integrated onto Si chips …

High performance multiferroic composites have attracted great attentions because they are
more beneficial to increasing magnetoelectric coupling effect. We report the effects of molar …

An applied electric field can reversibly change the temperature of an electrocaloric material
under adiabatic conditions, and the effect is strongest near phase transitions. We …

A short review of the development of magnetoelectrics is presented, primarily of recent work
(2009–2012). Emphasis is upon the different applications for different generic types: for …

Ferroelectric materials are well‐suited for a variety of applications because they can offer a
combination of high performance and scaled integration. Examples of note include …

Capacitors are a mainstay of electronic integrated circuits and devices, where they perform
essential functions such as storing electrical charge, and blocking direct current while …

Flexoelectricity was investigated as a function of temperature in paraelectric and ferroelectric
phases of barium titanate ceramic. The flexoelectric coefficient μ 12 was measured …

The development of ultrathin ferroelectric capacitors for use in memory applications has
been hampered by depolarization effects arising from the electrode–film interfaces. These …
