Polarization switching in wurtzite-type ferroelectrics is more complex than initially thought, involving multi-barrier transitions. Beautiful work by Cheng-Wei Lee revealing unique switching mechanisms and non-polar structures. NREL Colorado School of Mines science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

We're excited to welcome, Victoria Bradford, who is participating in the Colorado School of Mines U.S. National Science Foundation-REU. She comes from Pamir Alpay's group at UConn, where she is computationally studying the dielectric properties of (Al,Sc)N. We visited our number-crunching friend, Kestrel NREL

Happy to share that our work on topological insulators has been featured in the 2024 Materials Horizons 🔥 Papers collection! Check it out: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… Snyder Lab Materials Horizons #TopologicalInsulators #Thermoelectrics

I’d like to thank all the speakers and participants for making the symposium really excising. I’d also like to thank JST Gtex, in particular the Oxide and Sulfide teams for their supports. I wish we can have something similar again in the near future!

Excellent practical advice!
