Application of Gel Method Ba2TiSi2O8 Ferroelectric Thin Film in Contemporary Handicraft Three-Dimensional Fiber Art Works

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2022
The concept of “fiber art” not only expresses a kind of art but also reflects the course of this art—the evolution from a material to an art. It also reflects the characteristics of this art form—art produced by materials.

In Situ Study of Resistive Switching in a Nitride‐Based Memristive Device

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In situ TEM biasing experiment demonstrates the volatile I‐V characteristic of MIM lamella device. In situ STEM‐EELS Ti L2/L3 ratio maps provide direct evidence of the oxygen vacancies migrations under positive/negative electrical bias, which is critical for revealing the RS mechanism for the MIM lamella device.

Ferroelectric or non-ferroelectric: Why so many materials exhibit “ferroelectricity” on the nanoscale [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Physics Reviews, 2017
Ferroelectric materials have remained one of the major focal points of condensed matter physics and materials science for over 50 years. In the last 20 years, the development of voltage-modulated scanning probe microscopy techniques, exemplified by Piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) and associated time- and voltage spectroscopies, opened a pathway to

Growth of Millimeter‐Sized BaTaO2N Single Crystals by an NH3‐Assisted BaCl2 Flux Method

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Millimeter‐sized BaTaO2N single crystals are successfully grown from a BaCl2 flux under NH3 flow. Their comprehensive characterization, including dielectric properties, is demonstrated, and the possible growth mechanisms are discussed. Abstract Perovskite‐type oxynitrides have attracted considerable attention due to their excellent photocatalytic ...

Effect of manganese doping on the size effect of lead zirconate titanate thin films and the extrinsic nature of dead layers

open access: yes, 2009
We have investigated the size effect in lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin films with a range of manganese (Mn) doping concentrations. We found that the size effect in the conventional Pt/PZT/Pt thin-film capacitors could be systematically reduced and ...

Magnetic ferroelectric materials

open access: yesBulletin of Materials Science, 1994
In the form of a succinct overview the structure and symmetry requirements of magnetic ferroelectrics are discussed. Boracites are the best-studied examples and have phases being simultaneously ferroelectric, ferromagnetic and ferroelastic. One of the salient features of such materials is the obligatory occurrence of the linear and bilinear ...

Electroactive Liquid Crystal Elastomers as Soft Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Electroactive liquid crystal elastomers (eLCEs) can be actuated via electromechanical, electrochemical, or electrothermal effects. a) Electromechanical effects include Maxwell stress, electrostriction, and the electroclinic effect. b) Electrochemical effects arise from electrode redox reactions.
