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

As an important branch of functional materials, ferroic materials, especially ferroelectrics
have attracted increasing attention in decades. Because of the rising demand in industry …

A thermal gradient-induced circular motion of particles placed on ferroelectric nematic liquid
crystal sessile drops is demonstrated and explained. Unlike hurricanes and tornadoes that …

Solution growth of single-crystal ferroelectric oxide films has long been pursued for the low-
cost development of high-performance electronic and optoelectronic devices. However, the …

Conventional indirect X‐ray detectors employ scintillating phosphors to convert X‐ray
photons into photodiode‐detectable visible photons, leading to low conversion efficiencies …

A generalized Landau-Ginzburg model is constructed and used to develop a methodology
for analyzing graded ferroic materials. Material system inhomogeneities are assumed to …

PbTiO 3/SrTiO 3 superlattices were grown on (001) SrTiO 3 substrates by reactive molecular
beam epitaxy (MBE). Sharp superlattice reflections were observed by x-ray diffraction. High …

Effective pyroelectric coefficients as large as 5 C/cm2 C, with peak responsivities at
approximately 50 C, were obtained from compositionally graded barium strontium titanate …

Highly (100) textured graded manganese (Mn) doped Ba 0.5 Sr 0.5 TiO 3 [BST (50/50)] thin
films were deposited on lanthanum aluminate substrates using sol-gel technique. We have …

Pyroelectric materials have been widely used for a range of thermal-related applications
including thermal imaging/sensing, waste heat energy conversion, and electron emission. In …
