Negative Capacitance

Caption

Shown is a rendition of an experimental stack made with a layer of lead zirconate titanate, a ferroelectric material. UC Berkeley researchers showed that this configuration could amplify the charge in the layer of strontium titanate for a given voltage, a phenomenon known as negative capacitance.
