Ab Initio Study on 3D Anisotropic Ferroelectric Switching Mechanism and Coercive Field in HfO2 and ZrO2

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study uncovers a new switching mechanism in HfO2 and ZrO2, where the absence of a non‐polar layer along the a‐direction induces interaction between polar layers. Consequently, the switching barriers for growth are lower than those for nucleation in this direction, leading to a size‐dependent coercive field that matches experimental observations ...

One-step synthesis of BaTiO3/CaTiO3 core-shell nanocubes by hydrothermal reaction

open access: yesJournal of Asian Ceramic Societies, 2021
Novel cube-shaped nanocrystals of BaTiO3 (BT) surrounded by CaTiO3 (CT) that can be used for piezo-driven energy harvesters were synthesized using a one-step hydrothermal reaction with surfactant and additives at 250°C for 24 h.

3D (Bio) Printing Combined Fiber Fabrication Methods for Tissue Engineering Applications: Possibilities and Limitations

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Biofabrication aims at providing innovative technologies and tools for the fabrication of tissue‐like constructs for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. By integrating multiple biofabrication technologies, such as 3D (bio) printing with fiber fabrication methods, it would be more realistic to reconstruct native tissue's ...

Pressure-Induced Anomalous Phase Transitions and Colossal Enhancement of Piezoelectricity in PbTiO$_3$

open access: yes, 2005
We find an unexpected tetragonal-to-monoclinic-to-rhombohedral-to-cubic phase transition sequence induced by pressure, and a morphotropic phase boundary in a pure compound using first-principles calculations.

A finite element approach for computing edge singularities in piezoelectric materials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
By using the eigenfunction expansion technique and the weak form of the governing equations for prismatic sectorial domains composed of piezoelectrics and air, an one-dimensional finite element procedure is formulated for computing the eigensolutions of ...

Enhanced Piezoelectric Performance of Electrospun PVDF‐TrFE by Polydopamine‐Assisted Attachment of ZnO Nanowires for Impact Force Sensing

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, 2023
In this work, piezoelectric PVDF‐TrFE electrospun fibers (EFs) were fabricated using a high‐throughput nozzle‐free electrospinning process. Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were robustly anchored to the PVDF‐TrFE EFs, assisted by a self‐polymerized ...
