Electrostrictive materials exhibit a strain that is proportional to the square of the induced polarization. In linear dielectrics where the permittivity is constant, this electromechanical strain is also proportional to the square of the…

Ferroic domain walls could play an important role in microelectronics, given their nanometric size and often distinct functional properties. Until now, devices and device concepts were mostly based on mobile domain walls in ferromagnetic…

When we place conducting bodies in electrolyte solutions, their surface potential $\Phi_s$ appears to be much smaller in magnitude than the intrinsic one $\Phi_0$ and normally does not obey the classical electrostatic boundary condition of…
