There has been a resurgence of complex oxides of late owing to their ferroelectric and
ferromagnetic properties. Although these properties had been recognized decades ago, the …

This article reviews the existing theoretical models describing the interface-induced
phenomena which affect the switching characteristics and dielectric properties of …

Segregation and phase separation of aliovalent dopants on perovskite oxide (ABO3)
surfaces are detrimental to the performance of energy conversion systems such as solid …

With much excitement and great enthusiasm I introduce this thorough treatise on the major
aspects of domain and domain wall phenomena in ferroics, mostly ferroelectrics, a major …

We review and critique the recent developments on multifunctional oxide materials, which
are gaining a good deal of interest. Recongnizing that this is a vast area, the focus of this …

The effect of the top electrode (TE) on the ferroelectric properties and switching endurance
of thin Hf0. 5Zr0. 5O2 films was examined. The TiN/Hf0. 5Zr0. 5O2/TiN capacitor can endure …

By changing the electrode combination of Pt and LaNiO3 (LNO), four capacitor types of
Pt/PZT/Pt/Si, Pt/LNO/PZT/Pt/Si, Pt/LNO/PZT/LNO/Pt/Si, and Pt/PZT/LNO/Pt/Si, were prepared …

We show the alignment of defect dipoles along the direction of the spontaneous polarization
in polycrystalline Pb (Zr, Ti) O3 and BaTiO3 ferroelectric ceramics using electron …

Piezoresponse scanning force microscopy measurements performed on lead zirconate
titanate mesoscopic structures revealed a negative shift of the initial piezoelectric hysteresis …

Application of ferroelectric oxides in photovoltaic devices has been revived by the
emergence of bismuth ferrite thin films, a lead-free perovskite with a narrow bandgap (∼ 2.7 …
