The kinetics of the ferroelectric lock-in transition in potassium selenate (K2SeO4) was studied on a millisecond timescale using high-resolution γ-ray diffraction. A large change of the line width and wavevector of the first order satellite is observed during the switching process. This is attributed to a loss of long-range order under the influence of the electric field. In addition, the incommensurate phase is stabilized by the pulsed field and the transition to the pure commensurate phase is shifted to lower temperatures. Strains that may build up during the rapid switching process are supposed to be the reason for this behaviour.

In this letter, we investigated the impact of percolation transport mechanisms on ferroelectric field effect transistor (FeFET) multi-value storage with Kinetic Monte-Carlo (KMC) simulation considering aspect ratio and temperature dependencies. It is found that the portion of the ferroelectric polarization, which dominated the threshold voltage shift of the FeFET, increases when aspect ratio of device decreases. Moreover, randomness of percolation path formation and variations of equivalent conductance can be suppressed, indicating mitigation of device-to-device variations and enhancement of separation of individual states.

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) materials have been widely investigated as polymer matrix for solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) due to their high dielectric constant, electroactive effect (piezo-, pyro-, and ferroelectricity), and excellent thermal stability. However, the poor interface compatibility caused by highly reactive residual solvents and unsatisfactory ionic conductivity owing to sluggish Li transport kinetics are principal bottlenecks impeding the further development of PVDF-based electrolytes. Herein, we design a PVDF-based electrolytes with the assistance of hydrophilic-amorphous silica (HA-SiO).

In-plane tensile strain was reported to enhance the ferroelectricity of HfZrO thin films by promoting the formation of a polar orthorhombic (PO-) phase. However, its origin remains yet to be identified unambiguously, although a strain-related thermodynamic stability variation was reported. This work explores the kinetic effects that have been overlooked to provide a precise answer to the problem, supplementing the thermodynamic calculations.

Ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals (NFLCs) are promising electronic materials owing to their giant permittivity, polarization, and nonlinear optical coefficients. Although it is difficult to polymer-stabilize the NFLC orientation state due to their low affinity to polymers, in this study, we have succeeded in stabilizing the orientation into a blue phase (BP) three-dimensional structure by using BP polymer networks. This BP polymer-templated NFLC retains their ferroelectric properties and stabilizes with macroscopically canceled polarization due to the BP structure.
