Tunable and Persistent Macroscopic Polarization in Nominally Centrosymmetric Defective Oxides
D. -S. Park, N. Pryds, N. Gauquelin +8
Introducing symmetry breaking in materials enables the emergence of functionalities. This can be microscopically and macroscopically driven by applying external stimuli such as mec…
