Flexoelectricity—the coupling between polarization and strain gradients—is a universal
effect allowed by symmetry in all materials. Following its discovery several decades ago …

In a composite of magnetostrictive and piezoelectric phases, mechanical strain mediates
magnetoelectric (ME) coupling between the magnetic and the electric subsystems. This …

Within the Landau-Ginsburg-Devonshire phenomenological approach we study the ferroic
nanosystem properties changes caused by the flexoeffect (flexoelectric and flexomagnetic) …

In recent years, halide perovskite solar cells (HPSCs) have attracted a great attention due to
their superior photoelectric performance and the low‐cost of processing their quality films. In …

This contribution begins with a discussion of the homogeneous Landau theory for bulk
ferroelectrics with spatially uniform polarizations, reviewing firstand second-order transitions …

Handbook of Nanophysics: Functional Nanomaterials illustrates the importance of tailoring
nanomaterials to achieve desired functions in applications. Each peer-reviewed chapter …

The boundary conditions, customarily used in the Landau-type approach to ferroelectric thin
films and nanostructures, have to be modified to take into account that a surface of a …

Self-biased magnetoelectric (ME) composites, defined as materials that enable large ME
coupling under external AC magnetic field in the absence of DC magnetic field, are an …

A thermodynamic model is presented that describes the polarization and the dielectric
response of ferroelectric-paraelectric bilayers and multilayers. It is shown that a strong …

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 …
