Optimization of the fabrication of buried electrodes for NEMS resonators

The aim of this project is to optimize the fabrication of buried lateral electrodes, with a piezolectric material sandwiched between two metal electrodes. Lateral electrodes have the advantage of allowing the applied electric field to be and to remain comp ...

Individual Barkhausen pulses of ferroelastic nanodomains

Dragan Damjanovic, Vasiliki Tileli, Reinis Ignatans

Ferroelectric materials, upon electric field biasing, display polarization discontinuities known as Barkhausen jumps, a subclass of a more general phenomenon known as crackling noise. Herein, we follow at the nanoscale the motion of 90 degree needle domain ...

Magnetic structures and quadratic magnetoelectric effect in LiNiPO4 beyond 30 T

Ellen Fogh

Neutron diffraction with static and pulsed magnetic fields is used to directly probe the magnetic structures in LiNiPO4 up to 25 T and 42 T, respectively. By combining these results with magnetometry and electric polarization measurements under pulsed fiel ...

Electroporation is defined as cell membrane permeabilization under the application of electric fields. The mechanism of hydrophilic pore formation is not yet well understood. When cells are exposed to electric fields, electrical stresses act on their surfa ...

Finite-size corrections of defect energy levels involving ionic polarization

Alfredo Pasquarello, Stefano Falletta, Julia Anna Wiktor

We develop a scheme for finite-size corrections of vertical transition energies and single-particle energy levels involving defect states with built-in ionic polarization in supercell calculations. The method accounts on an equal footing for the screening ...

We have focused on the ability to tune the aluminum (Al) content of the AlGaAs alloy along the growth direction in inverted pyramids (by MOVPE), thus tailoring the potential along a QWR nanostructure. Three parabolic-potential QDs (PQDs) of different poten ...

The accurate evaluation of ferroelectric thin films operated with interdigitated electrodes is quite a complex task. In this article, we show how to correct the electric field and the capacitance in order to obtain identical polarization and CV loops for a ...

Heuristic Description of Magnetoelectricity of Cu2OSeO3

Helmuth Berger

CuO2SeO3 is an insulating material that hosts topologically nontrivial spin whirls, so-called skyrmions, and exhibits magnetoelectric coupling allowing to manipulate these skyrmions by means of electric fields. We report magnetic force microscopy imaging o ...
