Nanoscale Layers of Ferroelectric BaTiO3: From Growth to Fabrication
BaTiO3 is a prototypical ferroelectric material with promise for memory and ferroelectric neuromorphic devices. Despite years of research, several outstanding challenges in the growth and fabrication of ultrathin nanoscale BaTiO3 layers remain. outline the advances achieved in my group to address these challenges.
