(Nanowerk News) Ferroelectrics are special materials with polarized positive and negative charges — like a magnet has north and south poles — that can be reversed when external electricity is applied.

Researchers from Pennsylvania State University have demonstrated that a non-ferroelectric material can acquire ferroelectric properties through interfacing with a ferroelectric material, a phenomenon ...

Since the discoveries of spin injection and giant magnetoresistance in the 1980s, which relied on spin-polarized electron injection from a ferromagnetic metal to a normal metal, the field of ...

Pictured is an RF magnetron sputtering system, one of the deposition tools used to make the films in this study. UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Ferroelectrics are special materials with polarized positive and ...
