An Overview of Linear Dielectric Polymers and Their Nanocomposites for Energy Storage

Molecules, 2021
As one of the most important energy storage devices, dielectric capacitors have attracted increasing attention because of their ultrahigh power density, which allows them to play a critical role in many high-power electrical systems.

Glissile Interphase Boundaries Enable Collective Phase Switching in Epitaxial Polar Oxides

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A triple point is identified in the phase diagram of low‐symmetry epitaxial BiFeO3 thin film along with an extended regime of phase competition associated with a flattened energy landscape. The electromechanical response is shown to be governed by correlated interphase‐boundary motion, including scale‐free avalanche dynamics characteristic of systems ...

Temperature-dependent energy storage characterization of Pb-free relaxor ferroelectrics [PDF]

Journal of Advanced Dielectrics, 2020
The energy storage properties of (1−x)Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3–xBaTiO3(0≤x≤0.08) (BNT–BT) ceramics obtained via sol–gel method are determined from the polarization versus electric field (P–E) loops at various temperatures. The energy storage densities are observed

Optical Signature of Moiré Superlattices Formed by Twisted SrTiO3 Membranes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We discover optical signatures from bonded interfaces in twisted SrTiO3 moiré superlattices, including low‐frequency Raman vibrational modes and strong second‐harmonic generation, consistent with strong interlayer coupling inferred from cross‐sectional electron microscopy and ab initio calculations. ABSTRACT Moiré superlattices formed at the interfaces

The Freezing Mechanisms of Perovskite Relaxor Ferroelectrics and the Thermodynamic Stability of their Ferroelectric States [PDF]

, 2009
Relaxor ferroelectrics are disordered crystalline materials that have short-range ferroelectric order, known as polar nanoregions. These materials do not exhibit a ferroelectric phase transition at zero field, but rather enter a glassy-like relaxor ...

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 ...

Embedded Ferroelectric Nanoclusters Can Drive Polarization Reversal in a Non‐Ferroelectric Polar Film via the Proximity Effect

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Ferroelectric nanoclusters create local internal fields in a normally non‐switchable polar film because of polarization mismatch at their interfaces. That field opposes polarization in the regions with larger polarization and reinforces polarization in the regions with smaller polarization.

Electrocaloric effects in ferroelectrics and multiferroics from first principles

Journal of Materiomics
The electrocaloric (EC) effect characterizes the change in temperature or entropy of a material under the application of an external electric field. Ferroelectric and multiferroic materials have attracted considerable interest due to their potential for ...

Origin of diffuse scattering in relaxor ferroelectrics [PDF]

Physical Review B, 2010
High-pressure and variable temperature single crystal synchrotron X-ray measurements combined with first-principles based molecular dynamics simulations study diffuse scattering in the relaxor ferroelectric system PSN (PbSc$_{1/2}$Nb$_{1/2}$O$_3$).

Strong Lead‐Free Bioinspired Piezoceramics for Durable Energy Transducers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We fabricated brick‐and‐mortar lead‐free piezoceramics with Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 monocrystal platelets as bricks and amorphous silica as mortar. The alignment of the bricks and the presence of the amorphous silica led to anisotropic residual stresses. These residual stresses increase the samples toughness, strength and durability while the brick alignment ...
