In the framework of Landau--Ginzburg--Devonshire (LGD) phenomenological theory, the influence of misfit strains, surface energy, and finite-size effects on phase diagrams, polar properties, and hysteresis loops has been calculated for…
Terahertz time-domain conductivity measurements in 2 to 100 nm thick iron films resolve the femtosecond time delay between applied electric fields and resulting currents. This current response time decreases from 29 fs for thickest films to…
The effect of random surface roughness on quantum size effect in thin films is discussed. The conductivity of quantized metal films is analyzed for different types of experimentally identified correlation functions of surface…
We Study in this paper the scaling and statistical properties of the $ac$ conductivity of thin metal-dielectric films in different regions of the loss in the metallic components and particularly in the limit of vanishing loss. We model the…
We consider the Anomalous Hall Effect (AHE) in thin disordered ferromagnetic films. Using a microscopic model of electrons in a random potential of identical impurities including spin-orbit coupling, we develop a general formulation for…
The ferroelectric properties of disorder Pb(Zr$_{0.5}$Ti$_{0.5}$)O$_{3}$ thin films are investigated with Monte Carlo simulations on the basis of a first-principles-derived Hamitonian. It is found that there exists a critical thickness of…
The influence of the flexoelectric and rotostriction coupling on the phase diagrams of ferroelastic-quantum paraelectric SrTiO3 films was studied using Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire (LGD) theory. The phase diagrams in coordinates temperature -…
We study the effect of depolarization field related with inhomogeneous polarization distribution, strain and surface energy parameters on a domain wall profile near the surface of a ferroelectric film within the framework of…
Motivated by the observed thickness-scaling of the coercive field in ferroelectric films over five decades, we develop a statistical approach towards understanding the conceptual underpinnings of this behavior. Here the scaling exponent is…
Sub-coercive field non-linearities in $0.5(\text{Ba}_{0.7}\text{Ca}_{0.3}\text{TiO}_{3})-0.5(\text{BaZr}_{0.2}\text{Ti}_{0.8}\text{O}_{3})$ (BCTZ 50/50) thin film elaborated using pulsed laser deposition are studied using permittivity and…
(abridged) The polarized thermal radiation at far infrared and submillimeter wavelengths from dust grains in interstellar clouds with irregular magnetic fields is simulated. We show that the polarization properties of quiescent clouds and…
We consider a model of a nanocomposite based on non-interacting spherical single-domain ferroelectric nanoparticles of various sizes embedded in a dielectric matrix. The size distribution function of these nanoparticles is selected as a…
Here, we report a combined experimental-theoretical study showing that collective application of rare earth doping on A-site and epitaxial strain to ferroelectric bismuth titanate does not lead to a very large c-axis polarization as…
In this paper, starting from a non-convex and nonlocal $3D-$variational model for the electric polarization in a ferroelectric material, and using an asymptotic process based on dimensional reduction, we analyze junction phenomena for two…
When the thickness of the layer is smaller than the electrons mean free path, the morphology affects the conductivity directly based on the layer thickness. This issue provides basis in order to estimate the thickness of the layer by…
The theory of size effects of the properties of nanocrystalline ferroelectric ceramic or nanoparticle powder allowing for surface tension and depolarization field is proposed. Surface tension was included into free energy functional and…
An ultracompact thin-film polarizer for normal-incidence (0{\deg} angle of incidence, AOI) applications is analytically and experimentally investigated. The device is based on Fano resonances in periodically nanostructured dielectric thin…
Far-infrared and terahertz spectroscopy of ferroelectric soft and central modes in thin films on substrates is reviewed. In addition to classical displacive proper ferroelectrics, also incipient and relaxor ferroelectrics and multiferroics…
The coupling between strain gradients and polarization, known as flexoelectricity, offers a new mechanism to control the functionality of dielectric materials. However, for the effect to be practically attractive, dynamic control of the…
We demonstrate that switching of ferroelectric thin-films sandwiched between metallic electrodes can be controlled by laser-assisted heating, reminiscent of heat-assisted magnetic recording. We employ electrical switching cycles that…
