Caption

Artist’s impression of electrically driven amorphisation in In2Se3, a layered semiconducting ferroelectric material. The middle layer is slipped by the carrier-wind force, and the lightning bolts indicate electrical spikes from piezoelectricity-induced mechanical shocks, which amorphise the material
