Simulation of nanoscale domain growth for ferroelectric recording

The growth process of nm-scale polarization domains is of great interest from a physical point of view and is also important in the design of ferroelectric recording, which is expected to be a high-density information recording method. To clarify the growth of nanoscale domains in probe-based ferroe...

description The growth process of nm-scale polarization domains is of great interest from a physical point of view and is also important in the design of ferroelectric recording, which is expected to be a high-density information recording method.
