Tunable “chemical electrodes” for bistable polarization screening and control

Researchers at the ICN2 have devised a new method to control the polarization of ferroelectric surfaces by functionalising them with “optimal” organic molecules, whose internal electronic configuration adapts to polarization orientation upon switching. These "chemical electrodes" have proven to be more efficient than standard metallic electrodes or atmospheric adsorbates used up to now.
