Domain-induced control of latent heat in freestanding BaTiO membranes
Tapas Bar, David Pesquera, Arnau Villalobos-Martin +11
Thin ferroelectric BaTiO films often exhibit continuous transitions instead of the first-order behavior of bulk crystals, a discrepancy usually attributed to epitaxial strain o…

Beware of the water: Hidden hydrogenation of perovskite membranes made by the water-soluble sacrificial layer method
Umair Saeed, Felip Sandiumenge, Kumara Cordero-Edwards +7
The fabrication of perovskite oxide free-standing films (membranes) by lift-off methods using water-soluble sacrificial layers is appealing because of the new mechanical degrees of…

Hierarchical domain structures in buckled ferroelectric free sheets
David Pesquera, Kumara Cordero-Edwards, Marti Checa +11
Flat elastic sheets tend to display wrinkles and folds. From pieces of clothing down to two-dimensional crystals, these corrugations appear in response to strain generated by sheet…
