Long‐range ordering of dipoles is a key microscopic signature of ferroelectrics. These
ordered dipoles form ferroelectric domains, which can be reoriented by electric fields …

Ferroelectric materials, because of their robust spontaneous electrical polarization, are
widely used in various applications. Recent advances in modelling, synthesis and …

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 …

Abstract (K, Na) NbO3 based ceramics are considered to be one of the most promising lead-
free ferroelectrics replacing Pb (Zr, Ti) O3. Despite extensive studies over the last two …

Hybrid lead-halide perovskites have emerged as an excellent class of photovoltaic
materials. Recent reports suggest that the organic molecular cation is responsible for local …

Despite more than 50 years of investigation, it is still unclear how the underlying structure of
relaxor ferroelectrics gives rise to their defining properties, such as ultrahigh piezoelectric …

Ferroelectrics, with their spontaneous switchable electric polarization and strong coupling
between their electrical, mechanical, thermal, and optical responses, provide functionalities …

Taking a historical perspective, we provide a brief overview of the first-principles modeling of
ferroelectric perovskite oxides over the past 30 years. We emphasize how the work done by …

Exploring the dynamic responses of a material is of importance to both understanding its
fundamental physics at high frequencies and potential device applications. Here we develop …

Relaxor ferroelectrics are a prototypical example of ferroic systems in which interplay
between atomic disorder and order parameters gives rise to emergence of unusual …
