Article Synopsis
- Combinatorial spread libraries enable the study of material properties across various concentrations and conditions, but traditionally require extensive functional property measurements.
- The authors introduce automated piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) to efficiently analyze these libraries, specifically in the SmBiFeO system, which features a unique phase boundary between ferroelectric and antiferroelectric states.
- By utilizing PFM and developing a mathematical framework based on Ginzburg-Landau theory, they aim to streamline materials discovery and make their data accessible for further research in the field.
Article Synopsis
- Ferroelectric materials have the potential to transform information technology due to their low power use, quick speeds, and excellent durability, but there are challenges with integrating them into existing semiconductor technologies.
- Recent research has shown promising ferroelectric properties in new binary oxides like ZnMgO, which could lead to practical applications.
- The study identifies two distinct ferroelectric subsystems in ZnMgO and introduces a new mechanism for polarization switching, challenging traditional views on how these materials behave, which could advance both fundamental physics and technological applications.
Nanoscale ferroelectric 2D materials offer the opportunity to investigate curvature and strain effects on materials functionalities. Among these, CuInPS (CIPS) has attracted tremendous research interest in recent years due to combination of room temperature ferroelectricity, scalability to a few layers thickness, and ferrielectric properties due to coexistence of 2 polar sublattices. Here, we explore the local curvature and strain effect on polarization in CIPS via piezoresponse force microscopy and spectroscopy.
