“…The maturation of self-supporting film preparation and micro/nanoscale mechanical manipulation offers other approaches for introducing flexible lattice strains − (Figure b–d). Among them, freestanding membranes have become ideal platforms, characterized by their excellent flexibility under mechanical manipulation.…”

“…The commonly used methods include physical peeling from two-dimensional van der Waals materials and the interception of sacrificial layers in oxide heterostructures. ,,− For example, dynamic tensile strains of up to 6.4% and 2% were imparted to PbTiO 3 and SrTiO 3 freestanding membranes, respectively, via micromechanical stretching. , Similarly, through the use of a nanomanipulator tip in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to bend self-supporting BaTiO 3 and BiFeO 3 membranes, the maximum flexible strain reached 10% and 5.4%, respectively, producing abundant polar configurations , (see Section ). In addition, for bulk ferroelectric materials, micro/nanoscale tips can be used in atomic force microscopy (AFM) and SEM to locally exert surface pressure, ,, as shown in Figure d,e. This generates a strain gradient and a flexoelectric field underneath the tips.…”

“…To counteract strain engineering–accommodated elastic energies, strains inevitably relax above critical thresholds, such as h C in heteroepitaxial films, to form strain gradients perpendicular to interfacial planes. Local strain gradients can also be induced by structural heterogeneity, which arises from chemical pressures or local mechanical stresses, intriguingly, following the flexoelectric effect, which can effectively modulate domain configurations and their responses to external stress fields. − More importantly, with advancements in micro/nanoscale manipulations, some novel strategies have been proposed for introducing strain gradients and have been proven to be highly feasible. , Therefore, in this section, we focus on recent progress in research on strain gradients and the attendant flexoelectric effect in ferroelectric-based materials.…”

Ferroelectrics have become indispensable components in various application fields, including information processing, energy harvesting, and electromechanical conversion, owing to their unique ability to exhibit electrically or mechanically switchable polarization. The distinct polar noncentrosymmetric lattices of ferroelectrics make them highly responsive to specific crystal structures. Even slight changes in the lattice can alter the polarization configuration and response to external fields. In this regard, strain engineering has emerged as a prevalent regulation approach that not only offers a versatile platform for structural and performance optimization within ferroelectrics but also unlocks boundless potential in various functional materials. In this review, we systematically summarize the breakthroughs in ferroelectric-based functional materials achieved through strain engineering and progress in method development. We cover research activities ranging from fundamental attributes to wide-ranging applications and novel functionalities ranging from electromechanical transformation in sensors and actuators to tunable dielectric materials and information technologies, such as transistors and nonvolatile memories. Building upon these achievements, we also explore the endeavors to uncover the unprecedented properties through strain engineering in related chemical functionalities, such as ferromagnetism, multiferroicity, and photoelectricity. Finally, through discussions on the prospects and challenges associated with strain engineering in the materials, this review aims to stimulate the development of new methods for strain regulation and performance boosting in functional materials, transcending the boundaries of ferroelectrics.

“…Six DOFs manipulators are characterized by larger range of motion to 100 mm with similar motion resolution as previous cases. The size of the system is relatively larger (300 Â 450 Â 600 mm 3 ) compared to the 3 DOFs systems, Zyvex, for example, is 100 Â 100 Â 50 mm 3 (Fukuda et al, 2013). The range of force goes up to 20 N for linear and rotary axes that may not be of use for nanoscale applications.…”

Purpose Novel nanomaterials and nano-devices require further functional aspects that can be designed and supported using new nanomanipulation techniques allowing specific functions at the design phase. The nano-manipulator becomes a key instrument for technology bridging sub-nano to mesoscale. The integration of various operations in nano-devices requires sub-nanometer precision and highly stable manipulator. This paper aims to review various design concepts of recent nanomanipulators, their motion characteristics, basic functions, imagine and automation with control techniques for the sake of establishing new design features based on recent requirements. Design/methodology/approach The paper reviews various existing nanomanipulators, their motion characteristics, basic functions, imagine and automation with control techniques. This will support precision machine design methodology and robotics principles. Findings The availability of a nano-precision instrument with integrated functions has proved to be extremely helpful in addressing various fundamental problems in science and engineering such as exploring, understanding, modeling and testing nano-machining process; exact construction of nano-structure arrays; and inspection of devices with complex features. Originality/value New functional specifications have emerged from this review to support the design and make of new advanced nanomanipulators with more features availability to support manipulation within the same reference datum needed for research and education.
