Electric dipoles go sideways in thin ferroelectric film

TL;DR - A thin ferroelectric film couples horizontal and vertical electric polarization, allowing unconventional sideways dipoles to be controlled using standard device geometry. This could ease integration into conventional electronic devices.

• The material exhibits coupled in-plane and out-of-plane polarization.
• Vertical device controls can manipulate horizontal electric dipoles.
• The provided summary does not specify the material, measurements, or performance.
