The continuing decrease of power requirements of electronic circuits offers the potential to deploy wireless systems as embedded sensors for cars or industrial tools, and implanted medical devices. Harvesting ambient vibrations by an appropriate energy har ...
In this work, using zero kelvin ab initio calculations, we revisit the structure and ferroelectric phase transition in antiphase domain boundaries (APBs) in SrTiO3 (STO), which has been previously addressed in terms of a phenomenological approach. We confi ...
The transition metal oxides are known for their versatile physical properties and are therefore an active field of research towards possible new functionalities and applications. This thesis focuses on the subgroup of titanates with perovskite structure th ...
Despite the technological importance of hard and soft PZT, Pb(Zr,Ti)O3, ceramics, the mechanisms of ferroelectric hardening and softening remain widely discussed in the literature. The hardening and softening phenomena have traditionally been investigated ...
Aging of piezoelectric properties was investigated in lead-free (1 - x)(Bi1/2Na1/2)TiO3-xBaTiO(3) doped with 1at.% Fe. The relaxor character of the un-poled material prevents macroscopic aging effects, while in the field-induced ferroelectric phase aging p ...

The nature of the "forbidden" local- and long-range polar order in nominally nonpolar paraelectric phases of ferroelectric materials has been an open question since the discovery of ferroelectricity in oxide perovskites (ABO3). A currently considered model ...
A five-layer stack of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin films with Pt electrodes was fabricated for potential applications in nanoactuator systems. The 1 mu m thick PZT films were deposited by a sol-gel technique, the platinum electrodes by sputtering. Th ...
"More with less" has been the motto behind the hardware miniaturization trend in the microelectronics industry since the 1970s. Active research in the growth of oxide films, including ferroelectrics, which started soon after, followed the same trend. Meanw ...
Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin films on insulator-buffered silicon substrates with interdigitated electrodes (IDEs) have the potential to harvest more energy than parallel plate electrode (PPE) structures because the former exploit the longitudinal pie ...
Even though many studies on the field cycling behavior of ferroelectric hafnium oxide have recently been published, the issue is still not fully understood. The initial increase of polarization during first cycles is explained by different theoretical and ...
