ELECTRONIC SWITCHING IN PYRANTHRONE THIN FILM

Ultrafast polarization switching in thin-film ferroelectrics

We present an experimental approach to study the ultrafast polarization switching dynamics in thin-film ferroelectrics. A semiconductor photoconductive switch with femtosecond laser illumination is used as a ‘‘pulse generator’’ to produce jitter-free, sub-100 ps rise time step-function-like electrical pulses. Quantitative measurements yield a polarization switching time, ts , of ;220 ps when me...

Ferroelastic switching in a layered-perovskite thin film

A controllable ferroelastic switching in ferroelectric/multiferroic oxides is highly desirable due to the non-volatile strain and possible coupling between lattice and other order parameter in heterostructures. However, a substrate clamping usually inhibits their elastic deformation in thin films without micro/nano-patterned structure so that the integration of the non-volatile strain with thin...
