An all-organic steroid-D-π-A modular design drives ferroelectricity in supramolecular solids and nano-architectures at RT

摘要

Confluence of a modular design approach and self-assembly with a 'steroid-D-n-A' module generates spontaneous polarization in solids and for the first time in nano-architectures constituted from organogels, at room temperature (RT). The search for novel ferroelectric (FE) materials has attracted tremendous interest due to the exciting applications in FE random-access memories (FERAM), FE field effect transistors (FEFET), FE diodes, 1-D FE organic quantum magnet and multiferroic materials.
