Instabilities in solids and structures are ubiquitous across all length and time scales, and
engineering design principles have commonly aimed at preventing instability. However …

Ferroelectrics have a spontaneous electrical polarization that is arranged into domains and
can be reversed by an externally applied field. This high versatility makes them useful in …

It is well-known that conventional field effect transistors (FETs) require a change in the
channel potential of at least 60 mV at 300 K to effect a change in the current by a factor of 10 …

The negative capacitance (NC) effect in ferroelectric thin films has attracted a great deal of
attention from the material and semiconductor device communities because it could be a …

This article briefly reviews recent applications of phase‐field method to ferroelectric phase
transitions and domain structures in thin films. It starts with a brief introduction to the …

Understanding mesoscale ferroelectric domain structures and their switching behavior
under external fields is critical to applications of ferroelectrics. The phase-field method has …

In this work a theoretical framework implementing the phase-field approach to fracture is
used to couple the physics of flow through porous media and cracks with the mechanics of …

This book describes behavior of crystalline solids primarily via methods of modern
continuum mechanics. Emphasis is given to geometrically nonlinear descriptions, ie, finite …

In the present-day scenario of low-power electronics, there is a steady and increasing need
for an adequate device that can counteract the power dissipation issue due to the consistent …

Ferroelectric ceramics are widely used as sensors and actuators for their electro-mechanical
properties, and in electronic applications for their dielectric properties. Domain switching …
