(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.

The field of spintronics has evolved significantly since the pioneering discoveries of spin injection and giant magnetoresistance in the 1980s, which relied on spin-polarized electron injection from a ...

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 ...

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