Ferroelectric crystals are a special class of materials that exhibit spontaneous electric polarization, which can be reversed by applying an external electric field. These crystals have a ...

At the Tokyo Tech LG Material & Life Solution Collaborative Research Cluster, a joint research team has developed a ferroelectric dimeric liquid crystal with spontaneous polarization that exceeds (8 ...

Ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals (FNLCs) represent a transformative breakthrough in soft condensed matter, uniting the fluidity of ordinary liquid crystals with spontaneous macroscopic ...

Ferroelectric liquid crystals (FLCs) represent a fascinating class of soft materials that exhibit spontaneous polarisation and fast electro‐optic responses. This property underpins their potential use ...

For years, researchers believed that the smaller the domain size in a ferroelectric crystal, the greater the piezoelectric properties of the material. However, recent findings have raised questions ...

An ultrathin ferroelectric capacitor, designed by researchers from Japan, demonstrates strong electric polarization despite ...

What happens to ferroelectric materials when their dimensions are greatly reduced? A team of researchers at HZB has now been able to show how this question can be answered in a detailed way But how do ...

An ultrathin ferroelectric capacitor demonstrates strong electric polarization despite being just 30 nm thick including top ...

Ferromagnetic materials have a self-generating magnetic field, ferroelectric materials generate their own electrical field. Although electric and magnetic fields are related, physics tells us that ...

Ferroelectric liquid crystals are materials that have a remnant and electrically invertible polar order. Columnar liquid crystals with a ferroelectric nature have potential use in ultrahigh-density ...

“The domain walls in ferroelectric crystals are interfaces with a very small thickness over which the dipole moments change their directions. It’s well known in the research community of ferroelectric ...
