Instability-Driven Mechanically Locked States in Functional Oxide Membranes

Abstract While mechanical instabilities enable engineered nonlinear responses, their controlled application in functional crystalline oxides has remained largely unexplored. Recent advances in freestanding oxide membranes now allow their integration into nanoscale, bistable archi...

Thickness-dependent crack suppression and wrinkle formation in freestanding BaTiO3 membranes

Freestanding ferroelectric oxide membranes offer a promising route toward silicon-integrated low-power electronic and memory devices, but reproducible membrane quality remains challenging, particularly in ultrathin BaTiO 3 (BTO), where cracking and wrinkling hinder integration. H...
