Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A ferroelectric device includes a first electrode, a second electrode spaced apart from the first electrode, and a ferroelectric element arranged between the first and second electrodes. The ferroelectric element has a plurality of quasistatic strain configurations that are selectable by the application of an electric field and the device has selectable electromechanical displacement by the application of the electric field.

First claim
