The (001) oriented epitaxial BaTiO3 thin films were grown on La0.7Sr0.3MnO3, SrRuO3, and Nb-SrTiO3 layers, respectively, and the inhomogeneous compressive strain is suggested to be the main origin of their upward self-polarization. The upward self-polarization exists in the thin BaTiO3 films with strong inhomogeneous…

Abstract We simulate multivesicle suspensions undergoing simple shear deformation by using the Stokes-flow boundary-integral equation method to quantify the effect of vesicle–vesicle interactions on the microstructure and rheology of the suspension. The binary collisions between vesicles are found to cause a vesicle’s…

We report a femtosecond transient spectroscopy study in the near to middle infrared range, 0.8-0.35 eV photon energy, on graphene and few layer graphene single flakes. The spectra show an evolving structure of photoinduced absorption bands superimposed on the bleaching caused by Pauli blocking of the interband optical…

The overall hysteresis behavior of nanocrystalline ferroelectric polycrystals demonstrates unique characteristics against conventional ferroelectric ceramics. The existence of low-permittivity paraelectric grain boundary and its influence to the microstructure of grains can be a key factor leading to such characterist…
