“Ferroelectric materials can stay in a given state of charge for a long time — they retain their charge after the external electrical source is removed,” Dalal said.
-
Ferroelectric materials provide low-power, high-efficiency electronic memory and are already used in smart cards for subways and ATMs, among other things.
-
Ferroelectric random-access memory is another technology for exploiting magnetic rather than electric charges.
-
Ferroelectric memories are used, for example, in "smart cards" for subway systems.

Ferroelectric structures that could be built directly onto silicon crystals, the most common materials base for consumer electronics, have been sought for years for a variety of applications, including nonvolatile memory (data that is not lost when power is turned off) and temperature or pressure sensors integrated into silicon-based microelectronics.
