Many perovskite materials experience a temperature-driven phase transition at the Curie temperature from a non-centrosymmetric polar ferroelectric phase to a paraelectric phase, where polarization is lost. The paraelectric phase is usually centrosymmetric ...
PUS3 encodes the pseudouridylate synthase 3, an enzyme catalyzing the formation of tRNA pseudouridine, which plays a critical role in tRNA structure, function, and stability. Biallelic pathogenic variants of PUS3 have been previously associated with severe ...
Ferroelectric materials, upon electric field biasing, display polarization discontinuities known as Barkhausen jumps, a subclass of a more general phenomenon known as crackling noise. Herein, we follow at the nanoscale the motion of 90 degree needle domain ...
Ferroelectric oxides, such as lead zirconate titanate, have proved invaluable due to their excellent dielectric and piezoelectric properties. These classes of materials possess a large electric polarization below the Curie temperature. Regions of the cryst ...
Donor doping is commonly applied for softening of the piezoelectric and dielectric properties and facilitation of polarization switching in the ubiquitous Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 [PZT] ceramics. The origin of the donor-dopant effects is not entirely clear. (Pb,Ba)ZrO ...

The high Curie temperature (T-C similar to 825 degrees C) of BiFeO3 has made this material potentially attractive for the development of high-T-C piezoelectric ceramics. Despite significant advances in the search of new BiFeO3-based compositions, the piezo ...

The motion of ferroelectric domain walls greatly contributes to the macroscopic dielectric and piezoelectric response of ferroelectric materials. The domain-wall motion through the ferroelectric material is, however, hindered by pinning on crystal defects, ...

In contrast to the flexible rotation of magnetization direction in ferromagnets, the spontaneous polarization in ferroelectric materials is highly confined along the symmetry-allowed directions. Accordingly, chirality at ferroelectric domain walls was trea ...

"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 ...
Dynamics of domain walls are among the main features that control strain mechanisms in ferroic materials. Here, we demonstrate that the domain-wall-controlled piezoelectric behaviour in multiferroic BiFeO3 is distinct from that reported in classical ferroe ...
