Piezoelectricity and electrostriction in ferroelastic materials with polar twin boundaries and domain junctions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Weak piezoelectricity, compared with electrostriction, occurs in twinned ferroelastic materials even when the uniform bulk material is centro-symmetric.

Unveiling bulk and surface radiation forces in a dielectric liquid

open access: yesLight: Science & Applications, 2022
Laser pulses generate pressure waves due to electrostriction effects decoupling bulk and boundary optical forces in water, probed by the convoluted optical signal due to the resulting spatiotemporal pressure distribution.

Electrostriction effects on competing transition states in supercritical fluoroform

open access: yes, 2002
A compressible continuum model for supercritical fluoroform is used to model enantiomeric selectivities measured experimentally by Jessop et al. While oversimplified models, which exaggerate the importance of the electrostriction effect, do produce a non-

Antiferroelectric Shape Memory Ceramics

open access: yesActuators, 2016
Antiferroelectrics (AFE) can exhibit a “shape memory function controllable by electric field”, with huge isotropic volumetric expansion (0.26%) associated with the AFE to Ferroelectric (FE) phase transformation.

On electrostriction of a granular superconductor [PDF]

open access: yesSolid State Communications, 1998
Zero-temperature field-induced polarization, supercurrent density, and the related electrostriction (ES) of a granular superconductor are calculated within a model of 3D Josephson junction arrays. Both the "bulk-modulus-driven ES" (the change of the sample's volume in the free energy upon the applied stress) and the "change-of-phase ES" (due to the ...

Antiferroelectric Phase Transitions Under Electric Fields: A Review of Physics and Applications

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Materials, EarlyView.
Field‐induced phase transitions in antiferroelectric materials, driven by electric field, temperature, or stress, enable diverse applications including energy storage, electrocaloric cooling, and negative capacitance. These transitions are regulated through compositional design, strain engineering, heterostructure, and size effect, providing a unified ...

Towards a comprehensive characterization of spatio-temporal dependence of light-induced electromagnetic forces in dielectric liquids

open access: yesScientific Reports
The interaction of localized light with matter generates optical electrostriction within dielectric fluids, leading to a discernible change in the refractive index of the medium according to the excitation’s light profile.
