We have measured the bending-induced polarization of Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 single crystals with compositions at the relaxor-ferroelectric phase boundary. The crystals display very large flexoelectricity, with flexocoupling coefficients an…
Nonlinear electrostatic interaction between the surface ions of electrochemical nature and ferroelectric dipoles gives rise to the coupled ferroionic states in nanoscale ferroelectrics. Here, we investigated the role of the surface ions…
Ferroelectricity, the electrostatic counterpart to ferromagnetism, has long been thought to be incompatible with metallicity due to screening of electric dipoles and external electric fields by itinerant charges. Recent measurements,…
Using the model of four sublattices, the Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire-Kittel phenomenological approach and the Stephenson-Highland ionic adsorption model for the description of coupled polar and antipolar long-range orders in ferroics, we…
A transition in a spheroidal particle from the paraelectric to the ferroelectric phase as well as dynamic susceptibility are studied without approximation in the paraphase. It is assumed that the surface charge is compensated and the…
Gyrotropic effects, including natural optical activity (NOA) and the nonlinear anomalous Hall effect (NAHE), are crucial for advancing optical and transport devices. We explore these effects in the BaTiS3 system, a quasi-one-dimensional…
We report on unique electronic properties in Fe-SiO2 nanocomposite thin films in the vicinity of the percolation threshold. The electronic transport is dominated by quantum corrections to the metallic conduction of the Infinite Cluster…
We present a comparative study of the magnetic and electrical properties of polycrystalline and nanocrystalline Y2Ir2O7, the latter prepared using a new chemical route. We find that reduction in particle size leads to enhanced…
Vortices consisting of $90^\circ$ quadrant domains are rarely observed in ferroelectrics. Although experiments show polarization flux closures with stripe domains, it is as yet unclear why pure single vortices are not commonly observed.…
Flexoelectric effect is the coupling between strain, polarization and their gradients, which are prominent at the nanoscale. Although this effect is important to understand nanostructures, such as domain walls in ferroelectrics, its…
Effects of doping on morphology of iron carbide (cementite) nanowires have been explored by first principle electronic structure calculations. We examined the role of several realistic impurities (Si, Mn, V, P and S) in the formation…
Nanoscale BaTiO3 particles (approximately 10 nm) prepared by ball-milling a mixture of oleic acid and heptane have been reported to have an electric polarization several times larger than that for bulk BaTiO3. In this work, detailed local,…
We investigate the combined finite-size and thermo-magnetic effects on the properties of the quark matter, in the context of the two-flavored Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. In particular, by using the mean-field approximation and the Schwinger…
The role of the surface during polarization switching in constrained ferroelectrics is investigated using the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory. The model incorporates the elastic and electrostrictive effects in the form of a long-range…
The recent discovery of ferroelectric behavior in few-layer materials, accompanied by the observation of antipolar domains in hexagonal boron nitride and transition metal dichalcogenide moir\'e bilayers, is paving the way for revolutionary…
A quark-antiquark effective model is studied in a toroidal topology at finite temperature. The model is described by a Schr\"odinger equation with linear potential which is embedded in a torus. The following aspects are analysed: (i) the…
We investigate the effect of ferroelectric polarization direction on the geometric properties of Pd deposited on the positive and negative surfaces of LiNbO$_3$ (0001). We predict preferred geometries and diffusion properties of small Pd…
The consideration of size-induced ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition for conventional and incipient ferroelectrics thin films with perovskite structure was carried out in phenomenological theory framework of…
Analytical results obtained within Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire approach and effective media models, predict that the synergy of size effects and Vegard stresses can significantly enhance the electrocaloric cooling (up to 7 times) of the…
The ground-state structural and electronic properties of ferroelectric BiFeO$_3$ are calculated using density functional theory within the local spin-density approximation and the LSDA+U method. The crystal structure is computed to be…
