Transport of electrons in a bulk metal is usually well captured by their particle-like aspects, while their wave-like nature is commonly harder to observe. Microstructures can be are fully designed to reveal the quantum phase, for example…
The surface charge associated with the spontaneous polarization in ferroelectrics is well known to cause a depolarizing field that can be particularly detrimental in the thin-film geometry desirable for microelectronic devices. Incomplete…
