A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2025.240139 , discusses ferroelectric domain engineering of Lithium niobate. Lithium niobate (LN) is widely recognized for its ...

For years, researchers believed that the smaller the domain size in a ferroelectric crystal, the greater the piezoelectric properties of the material. However, recent findings have raised questions ...

What are Charged Domain Walls? Charged domain walls (CDWs) are ultrathin interfaces – typically only a few nanometers wide – that separate regions of different polarization orientation within a ...

“Bilayers of two-dimensional van der Waals materials that lack an inversion center can show a novel form of ferroelectricity, where certain stacking arrangements of the two layers lead to an ...

Researchers from the Institute of Metal Research (IMR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a new ferroelectric ultraviolet photodetector material that overcomes the long-standing ...

Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), which utilize ferroelectric ceramics, are widely used as electronic components in various devices such as smartphones, personal computers, televisions, and ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) 'Chemical energy' is a term for the energy stored in the covalent bonds that are holding atoms together in the form of molecules. So-called 'energetic materials' store a large ...
