• Confinement-Driven Inverse Domain Scaling in Polycrystalline ErMnO3 

      Schultheiss, Jan; Xue, Fei; Roede, Erik Dobloug; Ånes, Håkon Wiik; Danmo, Frida Hemstad; Selbach, Sverre Magnus; Chen, Long-Qing; Meier, Dennis (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The research on topological phenomena in ferroelectric materials has revolutionized the way people understand polar order. Intriguing examples are polar skyrmions, vortex/anti-vortex structures, and ferroelectric ...
    • Defect-Enhanced Polarization Switching in the Improper Ferroelectric LuFeO3 

      Barrozo, Petrucio; Småbråten, Didrik Rene; Tang, Yun-Long; Prasad, Bhagwati; Saremi, Sahar; Ozgur, Rustem; Thakare, Vishal; Steinhardt, Rachel A.; Holtz, Megan, E.; Stoica, Vladimir Alexandru; Martin, Lane W.; Schlom, Darrel G.; Selbach, Sverre Magnus; Ramesh, Ramamoorthy (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Results of switching behavior of the improper ferroelectric LuFeO3 are presented. Using a model set of films prepared under controlled chemical and growth‐rate conditions, it is shown that defects can reduce the quasi‐static ...
    • Empowering CO2 Eco-Refrigeration with Colossal Breathing-Caloric-Like Effects in MOF-508b 

      Gelpi, Maria; Garcia-Ben, Javier; Rodríguez-Hermida, Sabina; López-Beceiro, Jorge; Artiaga, Ramón; Baaliña, Álvaro; Romero-Gomez, Manuel; Romero-Gómez, Javier; Zaragoza, Sonia; Beceiro, Jorge Salgado; Walker, Julian Bradley; McMonagle, Charles James; Castro-Garcia, Socorro; Andújar, Manuel Sánchez; Señarís-Rodríguez, María Antonia; Bermúdez-García, Juan Manuel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Today, ≈20% of the electric consumption is devoted to refrigeration; while, ≈50% of the final energy is dedicated to heating applications. In this scenario, many cooling devices and heat-pumps are transitioning toward the ...
    • Flexible Transparent Electrodes Formed from Template-Patterned Thin-Film Silver 

      Luo, Sihai; Lian, Enkui; He, Jiali; de Mello, John Christian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Template-patterned, flexible transparent electrodes (TEs) formed from an ultrathin silver film on top of a commercial optical adhesive – Norland Optical Adhesive 63 (NOA63) – are reported. NOA63 is shown to be an effective ...
    • Pistachio‐Shuck‐Like MoSe2/C Core/Shell Nanostructures for High‐Performance Potassium‐Ion Storage 

      Wang, Wei; Jiang, Bo; Qian, Chang; Lv, Fan; Feng, Jianrui; Zhou, Jinhui; Wang, Kai; Yang, Chao; Yang, Yong; Guo, Shaojun (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Potassium‐ion batteries (KIBs) have recently attracted intensive attention because of the abundant potassium resources and their low cost and high safety. However, the major challenge faced by KIBs lies in the lack of ...
    • Polarization Topology at the Nominally Charged Domain Walls in Uniaxial Ferroelectrics
