Abstract

Ferroic materials have attracted a significant amount of attention due to their ability to be polarized in an applied external field. This polarization response lends these materials to a wide variety of applications, including sensors, actuators, and other medical and electronic devices. However, the properties of ferroic materials change when the size scale of the material reaches the nanoscale. These, ferroic nanomaterials have unique properties compared to their bulk counterparts, which can be leveraged for novel applications. In this chapter, the unique properties of ferroic materials at the nanoscale will be discussed within the context of their bulk properties and new applications.
