Quantitative, high-resolution mapping of ferroelectric electric fields

Lauren Mason
At the ultimate scaling limit, electronic memory would store bits of information by shifting atoms back and forth inside individual crystalline unit cells. Ferroelectric materials exhibit the electronic hysteresis required to realize this ideal. However, despite the perfect alignment between a material class and an economically important application, ferroelectric computer memory has almost zero commercial . . .
