Vivasha Govinden was a FLEET Research Associate working with Centre CI Prof Nagy Valanoor at UNSW to investigate ferroelectric coupling with the introduction of a spacer between ferroelectric thin films, leading to exotic ferroelectric domains that can contribute to a giant electromechanical response. An enhanced electromechanical response is key to applications in nanoelectronic sensors, memory and logic devices and electromechanical systems. The work falls under FLEET’s Research theme 1, topological materials.
