Direct electric field control of the skyrmion phase in a magnetoelectric insulator

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Ivica Zivkovic, Jonathan White

Magnetic skyrmions are topologically protected spin-whirls currently considered as promising for use in ultra-dense memory devices. Towards achieving this goal, exploration of the skyrmion phase response and under external stimuli is urgently required. Her ...

Identification of microscopic domain wall motion from temperature dependence of nonlinear dielectric response

Tomas Sluka, Pavel Mokry

It is known that the permittivity of ferroelectric polydomain films and single crystals in weak electric fields is strongly enhanced by the reversible movement of pinned domain walls. Two mechanisms of the movement exist: first, the bending of free segment ...

Characterization methodology for lead zirconate titanate thin films with interdigitated electrode structures

Paul Muralt, Robin Nigon, Trygve Magnus Raeder

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 ...

Amer Inst Physics2017

The dynamic dielectric nonlinearity of barium strontium titanate (Ba1-x, Sr-x) TiO3 ceramics is investigated in their paraelectric phase. With the goal to contribute to the identification of the mechanisms that govern the dielectric nonlinearity in this fa ...

Soft-Sphere Continuum Solvation in Electronic-Structure Calculations

Nicola Marzari, Oliviero Andreussi

We present an implicit solvation approach where the interface-between the quantum-mechanical solute and the surrounding environment is, described by a fully continuous permittivity built up with atomic-centered "soft" spheres. This approach combines many o ...

Dielectric Transduction of NEMS

Kaitlin Marie Howell

We report on a four-mask process flow for creating resonant NanoElectroMechanical Systems (NEMS) based on dielectric transduction. Current transduction mechanisms for NEMS include piezoelectricity, flexoelectricity and dielectric force. While piezoelectric ...

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 ...

Amer Chemical Soc2016

Insulator materials are the recent research interest in Spintronics because of the absence of joule heating. There has been continued interest in insulator material Cu2OSeO3 because it possesses the novel Skyrmion phase [1], specific type of spin vortices ...

Elastomers with tunable dielectric and electromechanical properties

Frank Nüesch

Novel electroresponsive silicone elastomers modified with nitrile groups are presented, whose dielectric permittivity (epsilon') is tuned from epsilon' = 4.3 to epsilon' = 17.4. They are prepared in a one-step process starting from a high molecular weight ...

The negative piezoelectric effect of the ferroelectric polymer poly(vinylidene fluoride)

Dragan Damjanovic

Piezoelectricity describes interconversion between electrical charge and mechanical strain. As expected for lattice ions displaced in an electric field, the proportionality constant is positive for all piezoelectric materials. The exceptions are poly(vinyl ...
