Tony gave his defence today, 8/19/25, on the ““Polarization Evolution Behavior in
Scaled Ferroelectric Capacitors.” Here, he discussed his research which involved the development of ferroelectric capacitors down to 100 nm in lateral dimention. Using these capacitors, he explored three ferroelectric materials to identify their switching kinetics and limits. Here, he identified a circuit limited and material limited behavior regime differentiated by lateral dimention, the latter which is useful for accurately isolating materials properties. He also establishes a criteria for identifying this regime.
Congratulations Tony, great work!
