Ferroelectric and ferroelastic domain walls are 2D topological defects with thicknesses
approaching the unit cell level. When this spatial confinement is combined with observations …

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

Pyroelectricity describes the generation of electricity by temporal temperature change in
polar materials,–. When free-standing pyroelectric materials approach the 2D crystalline …

Domains in ferroelectrics were considered to be well understood by the middle of the last
century: They were generally rectilinear, and their walls were Ising-like. Their simplicity …

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 …

Nanorods, nanowires, and nanotubes of ferroelectric perovskites have recently been studied
with increasing intensity due to their potential use in non‐volatile ferroelectric random …

Phase separation is a cooperative process, the kinetics of which underpin the orderly
morphogenesis of domain patterns on mesoscopic scales,. Systems of highly degenerate …

Domains in ferroelectric films are usually smooth, stripelike, very thin compared with
magnetic ones, and satisfy the Landau-Lifshitz-Kittel scaling law (width proportional to …

Two-dimensional (2D) layered materials have been an exciting frontier for exploring
emerging physics at reduced dimensionality, with a variety of exotic properties demonstrated …

Whilst often discussed as non-trivial phases of low-dimensional ferroelectrics, modulated
polar phases such as the dipolar maze and the nano-bubble state have been appraised as …
