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

Ferroelectrics have a spontaneous electrical polarization that is arranged into domains and
can be reversed by an externally-applied field. This high versatility makes them useful in …

Ferroelectricity in fluorite-structured ferroelectrics such as HfO 2 and ZrO 2 has been
attracting increasing interest since its first publication in 2011. Fluorite-structured …

Piezoelectric materials convert between electrical and mechanical energies such that an
applied stress induces a polarization and an applied electric field induces a strain. This …

Ferroelectric polarization switching is one common example of a process that occurs via
nucleation and growth, and understanding switching kinetics is crucial for applications such …

Field induced domain wall displacements define ferroelectric/ferroelastic hysteresis loops,
which are at the core of piezoelectric, magnetoelectric and memristive devices. These …

Ferroelectric materials find application in numerous electronic devices and are continuously
enabling the development of new technologies. Their versatility is intimately related to the …

Abstract Domain walls and phase boundaries are fundamental ingredients of ferroelectrics
and strongly influence their functional properties. Although both interfaces have been …

The contribution of 180° domain wall motion to polarization and dielectric properties of
ferroelectric materials has yet to be determined experimentally. In this paper, an approach …

For high-resolution powder diffraction in material science, high photon energies are
necessary, especially for in situ and in operando experiments. For this purpose, a multi …
