要旨

Ferroelectric thin films, especially PbTiO3-based perovskite thin films which possess robust spontaneous electrical polarization, are widely investigated and applied in various devices. With the advances in synthesis, characterization and calculation techniques, diverse phenomena and properties are uncovered in ferroelectric thin films. Herein some typical PbTiO3-based perovskite thin films through composition control are introduced, which gives more choices with various ferroelectric or other properties. Strain engineering, as well as some other interfacial effects, is also included to show the possibilities of controlling the lattice structure, the electronic structure as well as the domain structure which are closely connected to ferroelectricity. Multiferroic thin films, which could achieve magnetic-field-controlled polarization reversal, expand the novel applications of ferroelectric thin films. Typical and remarkable progress made in the case of multiferroic PbTiO3-based perovskite thin films is discussed here. Critical problems such as leakage current and fatigue hinder the practical use of ferroelectric and multiferroic thin films, and are also included in this article.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
