Organic non-volatile memories
AFM image : Structure of phase-separated ferroelectric/semiconducting polymer blends
Organic non-volatile memories are a promising development for ferroelectric polymeric materials issued from the macromolecular engineering.
Due to their intrinsic ferroelectric behavior they appear as potential candidates for new developments in the memories technology. Indeed ferroelectric… Continue reading
