High Speed Epitaxial Perovskite Memory on Flexible Substrates

Single-crystal perovskite ferroelectric material is integrated at room temperature on a flexible substrate by the layer transfer technique. Two terminal memory devices fabricated with these materials exhibit faster switching speed, lower operating voltage, and superior endurance than other existing flexible counterparts. The research provides an avenue toward combining the rich functionality of charge and spin states, offered by the general class of complex oxides, onto a flexible platform.
