Bulk ferroelectric heterostructures

Interfaces in oxide heterostructures act as critical regions to induce emergent and novel types of functionality in thin films. Herein, we demonstrate the creation of bulk ferroelectric heterostructures (BFHs) in monolithic ferroelectrics by nanoscale elemental partitioning, unlo...

Combined crystal plasticity–phase field fracture simulation to understanding particle cracking in recycled 6xxx aluminium alloy

Increasing the use of recycled aluminium alloys in wrought applications requires increasing tolerance to impurities such as iron. These impurities form brittle constituent particles that can crack or de-bond, leading to a reduction in formability. The fraction, size, shape, and d...

Scaling Up Molecular Electron Spin Qubits Around a Core‐Shell Quantum Dot

ABSTRACT Attachment of molecular nanomagnets (MNMs) to surfaces is an essential step toward multi‐qubit assemblies for the implementation of quantum information technologies. Here, thiol‐monofunctionalized {Cr 7 Ni} molecular antiferromagnetic rings that have potential as electro...

MXenes Contacts for p ‐type 2D Electronics

ABSTRACT MXenes, a family of two‐dimensional (2D) transition‐metal carbides and nitrides, offer a compelling combination of metallic conductivity and tunable surface chemistry. However, their potential as electrical contacts for p ‐type 2D semiconductors remains largely untapped....
