However, improving the BPVE efficiency to a level comparable to that of the semiconductor-based efficiencies is challenging in practice due to conflicting material design requirements. Previous works have shown that a stacked domain structure in a rhombohedral BiFeO<sub>3</sub> ferroelectric epitaxial thin film is able to satisfy the criteria of both a small mean free path for an optimized photocurrent and a large distance between electrodes for an optimized photovoltage. Nevertheless, this hypothesis has remained difficult to verify with other materials due to the complication of domain wall manipulation. This work takes advantage of the recent advances in controlling the domain structure in rhombohedral Pb(Mg<sub>1/3</sub>Nb<sub>2/3</sub>)O<sub>3</sub>-PbTiO<sub>3</sub> (PMN-PT) single crystals via AC poling. By comparing the photovoltage and photocurrent values after domain manipulations in four types of commercial PMN-PT samples, this work validates the hypothesis of the stacked domain structure enhancing the BPVE by witnessing a simultaneous increase of over 35% for both the open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current from DC to the AC-poled states under a 405 nm laser illumination. This result paves the way for further improving the BPVE efficiency in ferroelectrics.","PeriodicalId":110,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Electronic Materials","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142804904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, large-area continuous film transfer remains a challenge for the commonly reported polymer-based transfer methods due to bending and cracking during transfer, especially for highly strained epitaxial thin films. In this work, a new epoxy-based, rigid transfer method is used to transfer films from an SrTiO<sub>3</sub> (STO) growth substrate onto various new substrates, including those that will typically pose significant problems for epitaxy. An epitaxial multiferroic Bi<sub>3</sub>Fe<sub>2</sub>Mn<sub>2</sub>O<sub>x</sub> (BFMO) layered supercell (LSC) material is selected as the thin film for this demonstration. The results of surface and structure studies show an order of magnitude increase in the continuous area of transferred films when compared to previous transfer methods. The magnetic properties of the BFMO LSC films are shown to be enhanced by the release of strain in this method, and ferromagnetic resonance is found with an exceptionally low Gilbert damping coefficient. The large-area transfer of this highly strained complex oxide BFMO thin film presents enormous potential for the integration of many other multifunctional oxides onto new substrates for future magnetic sensors and memory devices.","PeriodicalId":110,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Electronic Materials","volume":"107 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142796842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, an optoelectronic memristor with hybrid digital-analog switching behavior is developed by incorporating carbon dots (CDs) into the polymethylmethacrylate and the polystyrene layers as charge trapping medium. The memristor exhibits tri-stable digital switching behavior under electro-optical programming and analog switching behavior under optical programming. For the digital switching, the SET and RESET voltage of the memristor can be modulated through UV light illumination. Taking advantage of the cooperation of electrical and light stimuli, new ternary optoelectronic logic algorithm implementations with all-electric or all-optical signals as inputs are proposed. For the analog switching, the device resistance can be gradually modulated through UV light illumination and output intensity- and duration-dependent characteristics. These features endow the memristor with fused image sensing-and-memory (sen-memory) capability without an auxiliary bias. In addition, the sen-memory can perform image contrast enhancement operation as the preprocessing operation of the human retina, which can improve the subsequent image recognition rate in the processing tasks. The multifunctional memristor highlights the potential for ternary optoelectronic computing and artificial vision applications, and also, is expected to expand the application scopes of CDs.","PeriodicalId":110,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Electronic Materials","volume":"105 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142796849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review highlights recent achievements in orbital effects, materials, and devices, beginning by discussing the mechanisms underlying orbital effects, e.g. the orbital Hall effect, orbital Rashba-Edelstein effect, inverse orbital Hall effect, and inverse orbital Rashba-Edelstein effect. Subsequently, a wide range of materials exhibiting orbital effects are classified and the orbital sources in them are identified. Furthermore, the review introduces the orbital torque devices and the orbital terahertz emitters, summarizing the in-depth mechanisms of the orbital torque, orbital torque efficiency, and orbital diffusion length across various material structures. Additionally, the review presents strategies for enhancing orbital torque efficiency and driving magnetization switching.
