Synergistic Polar States Engineered by Selective Atomic Gradients
Key Takeaways
- The paper 'Synergistic polar states by selective atomic gradients' appears in Science, volume 394, issue 6819, pages 107-112, October 2026.
- The title indicates a materials-engineering approach that deliberately introduces atomic-scale gradients to control polarization.
- Selective gradients can target composition, strain, defects, or specific atomic sites rather than varying the whole lattice.
- Synergy refers to multiple polar mechanisms — ferroelectric, flexoelectric, interfacial, and defect-driven — acting together or in competition.
