Intrinsic or nucleation-driven switching: An insight from nanoscopic analysis of negative capacitance Hf1-xZrxO2-based structures

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Igor Stolichnov, Matteo Cavalieri, Carlotta Gastaldi

HfO2-based ferroelectrics have dramatically changed the application perspectives of polarization-switching materials for information processing and storage. Their CMOS compatibility and preservation of high reversible polarization down to a few nanometer t ...

Strain-induced polar discontinuities in two-dimensional materials from combined first-principles and Schrodinger-Poisson simulations

Giovanni Pizzi, Marco Gibertini, Augustin Bussy

The local application of mechanical stress in piezoelectric materials gives rise to boundaries across which the electric polarization changes. Polarization charges appear along such polar discontinuities and the ensuing electric fields drive a charge recon ...

Domain wall conduction in bismuth ferrite thin films

Monika Iwanowska

Ferroelectrics are materials with a spontaneous electrical polarization, which can be switched by an applied electric field between two or more stable orientations permitted by symmetry. The regions where the ferroelectric material is polarized in one dire ...

Macroscopic Theory of Charged Domain Walls in Ferroelectrics

Maxim Gureev

This thesis consists of a theoretical analysis of charged domain walls in ferroelectrics based on Landau theory and the theory of semiconductors. First, the internal structure of a 180-degree charged domain wall is considered. It is shown that different re ...
