Abstract
The pressing quest for overcoming Boltzmann tyranny in low-power nanoscale electronics revived the thoughts of engineers of early 1930-s on the possibility of negative circuit constants. The concept of the ferroelectric-based negative capacitance (NC) devices triggered explosive activity in the field. However, most of the research addressed transient NC, leaving the basic question of the existence of the steady-state NC unresolved. Here we demonstrate that the ferroelectric nanodot capacitor hosts a stable two-domain state realizing the static reversible NC device thus opening routes for the extensive use of the NC in domain wall-based nanoelectronics.
