Cepstral Strain Mapping for Small Pixel-Count Detectors
Harikrishnan KP, Dasol Yoon, Yu-Tsun Shao +6
With the decreasing sizes of integrated-circuit components, the semiconductor industry is in growing need of high-throughput strain mapping techniques that offer high precision and…
Microscopic mechanisms of flexoelectricity in oxide membranes
Harikrishnan KP, Varun Harbola, Jaehong Choi +9
Modern electromechanical actuators and sensors rely on the piezoelectric effect that linearly couples strain and electric polarization. However, this effect is restricted to materi…
Improper Ferroelectricity at the Monolayer Limit
Yilin Evan Li, Harikrishnan KP, Haidong Lu +20
Ultrathin ferroelectric films with out-of-plane polarization and high Curie temperatures are key to miniaturizing electronic devices. Most ferroelectrics employed in devices are pr…
Electron ptychography reveals a ferroelectricity dominated by anion displacements
Harikrishnan KP, Ruijuan Xu, Kinnary Patel +9
Sodium niobate, a lead-free ferroic material, hosts delicately-balanced, competing order parameters, including ferroelectric states that can be stabilized by epitaxial strain. Here…
