Deskripsi

HfO2 is a promising ferroelectric material for applications in electronics but knowledge on its ferroic and electromechanical response properties is still lacking. Here, the authors demonstrate the peculiar piezoresponse of HfO2, predicting on how to reverse its sign by means of a biaxial strain.
