Improved Ferrorelectric Speed May Have Applications for Next-Gen Computers

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of California, Berkeley have found an easy method of increasing the operational speed for ferroelectric materials, making such materials viable candidates for use in low-power computing and electronics. Their findings were published in Nature Materials.

The team was led by Lane Martin, an associate professor of materials science and engineering at Berkeley, and Andrew Rappe, a professor of chemistry at Penn. Penn graduate student Shi Liu and Berkeley graduate student Ruijuan Xu worked on the design and modeling of the study.
