Ferroelectric domain walls have emerged as a new type of interface in which the dynamic
characteristics of ferroelectricity introduce the element of spatial mobility, allowing real-time …

Since its inception more than 25 years ago, Piezoresponse Force Microscopy (PFM) has
become one of the mainstream techniques in the field of nanoferroic materials. This review …

Materials with a coexistence of magnetic and ferroelectric order—multiferroics—provide an
efficient route for the control of magnetism by electric fields. The study of multiferroics dates …

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 …

Realizing a state of matter in two dimensions has repeatedly proven a novel route of
discovering new physical phenomena. Van der Waals (vdW) materials have been at the …

Raman spectroscopy enables the non-destructive characterization of chemical composition,
crystallinity, defects, or strain in countless materials. However, the Raman response of …

The ability to sensitively image electric fields is important for understanding many
nanoelectronic phenomena, including charge accumulation at surfaces and interfaces and …

Magnetically induced ferroelectrics exhibit rigidly coupled magnetic and electric order. The
ordering temperatures and spontaneous polarization of these multiferroics are notoriously …

Single-phase multiferroic materials that allow the coexistence of ferroelectric and magnetic
ordering above room temperature are highly desirable, motivating an ongoing search for …

The spontaneous transformations associated with symmetry-breaking phase transitions
generate domain structures and defects that may be topological in nature. The formation of …
