Understanding the large strain behavior in the lead-free doped Bi1/2(Na0.78K0.22)1/2TiO3–BiMg1/2Ti1/2O3 (BNKT-BMT) piezoelectric system

AIP Advances, 2020
The ternary solid solution Bi1/2(Na0.78K0.22)1/2TiO3-BiMg1/2Ti1/2O3 (BNKT-BMT) was investigated for high-strain actuator applications. This study of the BNKT-BMT system looked at the macroscopic properties as a function of BMT doping, temperature, and ...

Coexistence of the Critical Slowing Down and Glassy Freezing in Relaxor Ferroelectrics

, 1999
We have developed a dynamical model for the dielectric response in relaxor ferroelectrics which explicitly takes into account the coexistence of the critical slowing down and glassy freezing.

Critical state to achieve a giant electric field-induced strain with a low hysteresis in relaxor piezoelectric ceramics

Journal of Materiomics, 2021
Due to the extrinsic contribution of domain wall motions to electro-strains, the incompatibility of the large electro-strain with a low hysteresis in piezoelectric ceramics is a stumbling block for designing high-performance piezoelectrical actuators ...

Optical Control of the Thermal Conductivity in BaTiO3

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Light‐driven manipulation of thermal conductivity in archetypal ferroelectric, BaTiO3, offers a novel and effective approach for the dynamical control of the heat flux, with potential applications in thermal management and phonon‐based logic. Abstract Achieving dynamic control over thermal conductivity remains a formidable challenge in condensed matter

Designing polar textures with ultrafast neuromorphic features from atomistic simulations

Neuromorphic Computing and Engineering, 2023
This review summarizes recent works, all using a specific atomistic approach, that predict and explain the occurrence of key features for neuromorphic computing in three archetypical dipolar materials, when they are subject to THz excitations.

Terahertz‐Driven Ultrafast Dynamics of Rare‐Earth Nickelates by Controlling Only the Charge Degree of Freedom

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The THz drive of the Mott insulating state of a rare‐earth nickelate induces instantaneous insulator‐metal transition via quantum tunneling of valence electrons across the bandgap. This transition is pure electronic and highly non‐thermal, which may find its applications in ultrafast opto‐electronics with enhanced performance and minimal device size ...

Tetragonal tungsten bronze compounds: relaxor vs mixed ferroelectric - dipole glass behavior

, 2010
We demonstrate that recent experimental data (E. Castel et al J.Phys. Cond. Mat. {\bf 21} (2009), 452201) on tungsten bronze compound (TBC) Ba$_2$Pr$_x$Nd$_{1-x}$FeNb$_4$O$_{15}$ can be well explained in our model predicting a crossover from ...

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

Advanced 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 ...
