Vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene-chlorofluoroethylene terpolymer, P(VDF-TrFE-CFE), with small amount of CFE is utilized for thin-film nonvolatile memory. Polarization switching voltage for a 50 nm-thick film can be as low as 1 V, and is well suited for integrated driving electronics. The writing-erasing procedure…

We have proposed microscopic models for describing the multiferroic properties of BiFeO3 and GaFeO3. It is shown that the mechanisms of the multiferroism are different. In BiFeO3, the magnetoelectric coupling is biquadratic, whereas in GaFeO3 it is linear. The site disorder between Ga and Fe is a primary source of the…

Materials with strong correlations are prone to spin and charge instabilities, driven by Coulomb, magnetic, and lattice interactions. In materials that have significant localized and itinerant spins, it is not obvious which will induce order. We combine electrical transport, X-ray magnetic diffraction, and photoemissi…

A set of nanotubes with moderate contents of amorphous phases (0.4–5.1 wt %) are systematically investigated by Raman spectroscopy, kinetic thermal analysis, and complementary techniques. Results show that, in spite of their small amount, the presence of amorphous phases has a strong impact on the oxidation path of na…

Bi-doped GeTe nanowires were fabricated using chemical vapor deposition. Composition and microstructure characterizations indicated that Bi (∼3 at. %) doping preserved GeTe rhombohedral structure with slight X-ray diffraction peak shifts, implying material parameters variation. A doping model was proposed where three…

Because most domain wall motion (extrinsic) is arrested at high bias fields, experiments were conducted to evaluate the lattice (intrinsic) contributions to the dielectric response of lead lanthanum zirconate titanate (PLZT) at 0-100 MV/m, 213-523 K, and 1-1000 kHz. The intrinsic contribution depended weakly on bias f…

This work demonstrates a polymer-stabilized blue phase (PSBP) liquid crystal phase grating, which is made of hybrid PSBPs with two different Kerr constants. The Kerr constant of a PSBP is related to the morphology of the polymer network which can be controlled by the phase separation temperature. Owing to the non-patt…
