My vision for the Silicon Valley goes beyond education, companies, public, and environment, that goes to a collective, sustainable, self-learning ecosystem. Towards this vision, College of Engineering faculty and other decision makers decided to give me the Kordestani Endowed Chair Position for the third time and for a longer period.  Many thanks to Omid Kordestani […]

Temperature dependence of field-response mechanisms in 0.4Ba(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3–0.6(Ba0.7Ca0.3)TiO3 Authors: Chris M Fancher, Özgür Keleṣ, Matthias Ehmke, Keith J BowmanPublication date: 2021/7/12Journal: Applied Physics LettersVolume: 119Issue: 2Pages: 022904 DescriptionUnderstanding the temperature dependence of how ferroelectric materials respond to electric fields is critical for determining how best to use these materials in applications. Here, temperature dependent in situ x-ray diffraction […]
