Polar Vortices Found in Lead-Free Ferroelectric Superlattices on Silicon

A team at HZB reports polar vortices in (BaTiO3/SrTiO3)10 superlattices grown on silicon, expanding known platforms for polar topological textures. The result points to new ways to integrate complex ferroelectric states into silicon-based technologies.
