Direct evidence for electrostriction‐enhanced piezoelectricity in poly(vinylidene fluoride‐co‐trifluoroethylene) random copolymers

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Direct experimental evidence for electrostriction‐enhanced piezoelectricity is obtained for a quenched‐stretched‐annealed‐poled P(VDF‐TrFE) 52/48 mol.% random copolymer using time‐resolved small‐angle X‐ray scattering and wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction. Upon stretching up to 6% strain, the crystallinity (xc) increases 10% at the expense of the contents ...

Hole Polaronic Confinement in (111) Yttria‐Stabilised Zirconia

Small, EarlyView.
Ultrathin epitaxial YSZ(111) films unexpectedly develop p‐type mixed conduction and amplified electromechanical coupling under oxidizing conditions. Combined transport measurements and first‐principles modeling reveal that nanoscale confinement and ordered dopant–vacancy complexes stabilize localized O 2p hole polarons at the surface. A canonical ionic

Filling a Gap in Materials Mechanics: Nanoindentation at High Constant Strain Rates up to 105 s−1

Small, EarlyView.
A piezoelectric nanoindentation platform enables constant strain‐rate testing up to 105 s−1, extending experimental capabilities to extreme deformation regimes. Distinct hardness upturns are revealed across crystalline and amorphous materials, verified as intrinsic responses through quasi‐static reloading.
