Abstract
Thinning films induces ferroelectricity Thin ferroelectric films are needed in computers and medical devices. However, traditional ferroelectric films typically become less and less polarized the thinner the films become. Instead of using a good ferroelectric and making it thinner, Lee et al. started with SrTiO 3 , which in its bulk form is not ferroelectric. This material does have naturally occurring nanosized polarized regions. and when the thickness of the SrTiO 3 films reaches the typical size of these regions, the whole film aligns and becomes ferroelectric. Science , this issue p. 1314
