Topological Point Defects in Relaxor Ferroelectrics

Physical Review Letters, 2016
First-principles-based effective Hamiltonian simulations are used to reveal the hidden connection between topological defects (hedgehogs and antihedgehogs) and relaxor behavior. Such defects are discovered to predominantly lie at the border of polar nanoregions in both Ba(Zr_{0.5}Ti_{0.5})O_{3} (BZT) and Pb(Sc_{0.5}Nb_{0.5})O_{3} (PSN) systems, and the

Local atomic order and hierarchical polar nanoregions in a classical relaxor ferroelectric

Nature Communications, 2019
The understanding of relaxor ferroelectrics is hindered by the complexity of nanoscale perturbations of their structure. Here, a data set of independent techniques treated on common footing provides a multiscale description of atomic order which ...

Large acoustic thermal hysteresis in relaxor ferroelectric Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3

APL Materials, 2013
The diffuse phase transition in relaxor-based 0.93Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3–0.07PbTiO3 ferroelectric single crystals is studied by observing the large thermal hysteresis over 100 K of the longitudinal acoustic (LA) phonon.

Atomic resolution microstructure study of Bi-doped SrTiO3

Journal of Advanced Dielectrics
Intrinsic SrTiO3 is a quantum paraelectric, but moderately Bi-doped SrTiO3 exhibits dielectric frequency dispersion similar to relaxor ferroelectrics. In this paper, detailed electron microscopic studies of the microstructures of Bi-doped SrTiO3 samples ...

Dipolar Nematic State in Relaxor Ferroelectrics

Physical Review X
Relaxor ferroelectrics exhibit exceptional dielectric and electromechanical properties, yet their microscopic origins remain elusive due to the interplay of hierarchical polar structures and chemical complexity. While models based on polar nanoregions or

High-entropy designed filled tungsten bronze structure ferroelectrics with high Curie temperature and enhanced piezoelectricity

Journal of Materiomics
High-entropy design has emerged as a powerful strategy to induce configurational disorder and relaxor behaviour in ferroelectrics; however, its effectiveness in crystallographically constrained systems remains unclear.
