Molecular ferroelectrics have gradually aroused great interest in both fundamental scientific
research and technological applications because of their easy processing, light weight and …

Directional transport and propagation of quantum particle and current, such as electron,
photon, spin, and phonon, are known to occur in the materials system with broken inversion …

The photocurrent generation in photovoltaics relies essentially on the interface of pn junction
or Schottky barrier with the photoelectric efficiency constrained by the Shockley-Queisser …

Direct detection of circularly polarized light (CPL) is a challenging task due to limited
materials and ambiguous structure–property relationships that lead to low distinguishability …

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

Abstract Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO 3, BFO) as one of the few single-phase room-temperature
multiferroics, has aroused ever-increasing enthusiasm in research communities during the …

Among the different types of multiferroic compounds, bismuth ferrite (BiFeO 3; BFO) stands
out because it is perhaps the only one being simultaneously magnetic and strongly …

At the end of a rush lasting over half a century, in which CMOS technology has been
experiencing a constant and breathtaking increase of device speed and density, Moore's …

Broadband, efficient and fast conversion of light to electricity is crucial for sensing and clean
energy. The bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE) is a second-order nonlinear optical effect that …

There are only few semiconducting materials that have been shaping the progress of third
generation photovoltaic cells as much as perovskites. Although they are deceivingly simple …
