Orientation engineering is a universal strategy for ferroelectric trans-switching

Cameron Scott, Jorge Íñiguez-González

About two decades ago, ``strain engineering'' emerged as a powerful strategy to tune epitaxial thin films. Here we contend that ''orientation engineering'' - that is, controlling t…
