Abstract:
The surface of a ferroelectric material is a critical determinant of its properties, as the dimensions of the material approach the nanoscale. The relationship between oxide surface properties and bulk polarization is elucidated, both for two-electrode ferroelectric capacitors, and for one-electrode supported ferroelectric films and nanowires.
