“…The understandable doubts steadily reduced in the following years as reports of similar properties induced by a wealth of dopants and studies by different groups using unique fabrication methods and various electrode materials suggested some universalityat least for thin film samples. 11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20 Further "must-haves" for a ferroelectric, beyond a hysteretic curve of polarization P vs. electric field E, such as counter-clockwise switching in a ferroelectric field-effect transistor (FE-FET) 21,22 , piezo- 10,23 and pyroelectricity 24,25 , as well as the experimental proof of the presence of a polar phase 26,27 , solidified the original claim of Böscke et al 10 . The implementation of these new class of fluorite-type ferroelectrics in first devices for memory (transistor 21 and capacitor 28 based), energy harvesting and electrocaloric cooling 29 or supercapacitors 30,31 applications was even faster than the actual proof of the claimed phase behind.…”
