What is SME?
The Single Molecule Electret (SME) is a unique material that exhibits ferroelectricity (a memory effect) at a single-molecule level and at room temperature. Ferroelectricity is the property of a material to polarize (separate positive and negative charges) in the presence of an electric field and to retain this polarization even after the field is removed. Ferroelectric materials are used in a wide range of devices, such as capacitors for storing electricity and information storage media.
However, conventional ferroelectrics are macroscopic properties derived from their crystal structure. As a result, they lose their properties when miniaturized because they can no longer maintain polarization. In contrast, SMEs are innovative materials that detach the concept of “crystal” from ferroelectric properties, exhibiting ferroelectric-like behavior at a single-molecule level. This characteristic is expected to enable the development of products that overcome the limitations of conventional ferroelectric devices.
