FLEET CI Prof Jan Seidel (UNSW) is co-editor on a new book titled “Domain Walls – From Fundamental Properties to Nanotechnology Concepts” published by Oxford University Press.
It is the first to cover the emerging field of ferroelectric domain walls in depth, from underlying nanoscale material properties to prototype and emerging nanoelectronics technology and future research concepts in the area. The book offers:
- Comprehensive coverage beyond scientific reviews
- Information accessible for non-specialists and newcomers
- Explores concepts for future research within the area
Technological evolution and revolution are both driven by the discovery of new functionalities, new materials and the design of yet smaller, faster, and more energy-efficient components. Domain wall nanoelectronics utilizes ‘atomically sharp’ topological defects, i.e. separating regions of uniform polarisation in ferroelectric materials to built functional elements.
“Progress in ferroelectric domain walls is being made at a breathtaking pace and shows potential for so called ‘agile electronics’, in which circuits can be reconfigured at will, something that looks beyond what’s currently possible with silicon CMOS architectures” says Prof Seidel.
