Induced giant piezoelectricity in centrosymmetric oxides

Paul Muralt, Dragan Damjanovic, Vasiliki Tileli, Mahmoud Hadad, Lukas Riemer, Daesung Park

Piezoelectrics are materials that linearly deform in response to an applied electric field. As a fundamental prerequisite, piezoelectric materials must have a noncentrosymmetric crystal structure. For more than a century, this has remained a major obstacle ...

Skyrmion Control and Phase Transitions in Cu2OSeO3

Thomas Schönenberger

Magnetic skyrmions are nanometric and non-trivial spin textures with non-zero topological charge. Their robustness against perturbations and the possibility to control them using external stimuli make them ideal candidates for future spintronic application ...

Optimization of the fabrication of buried electrodes for NEMS resonators

The aim of this project is to optimize the fabrication of buried lateral electrodes, with a piezolectric material sandwiched between two metal electrodes. Lateral electrodes have the advantage of allowing the applied electric field to be and to remain comp ...

Local Structural Heterogeneity and Electromechanical Responses of Ferroelectrics: Learning from Relaxor Ferroelectrics

Dragan Damjanovic

Long-range ordering of dipoles is a key microscopic signature of ferroelectrics. These ordered dipoles form ferroelectric domains, which can be reoriented by electric fields. Relaxor ferroelectrics are a type of ferroelectric where the longrange ordering o ...

Charge generation by ultra-stretchable elastomeric electrets

Frank Nüesch, Yee Song Ko

Novel piezoelectric elastomers are synthesized and their long term stability and piezoelectric properties are investigated. They are thin film composites of specially designed polymer nanoparticles with high glass transition temperatures (T-g) and side gro ...

Heuristic Description of Magnetoelectricity of Cu2OSeO3

Helmuth Berger

CuO2SeO3 is an insulating material that hosts topologically nontrivial spin whirls, so-called skyrmions, and exhibits magnetoelectric coupling allowing to manipulate these skyrmions by means of electric fields. We report magnetic force microscopy imaging o ...

What is a ferroelectric-a materials designer perspective

Nava Setter

Ferroelectrics are usually defined as polar materials that display polarisation hysteresis. This is a functional definition. A structural definition exists too, based solely on symmetry arguments. The structural definition, useful e.g. for design of new ma ...

Formation of charged ferroelectric domain walls with controlled periodicity

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev, Dragan Damjanovic, Tomas Sluka, Petr Bednyakov

Charged domain walls in proper ferroelectrics were shown recently to possess metallic-like conductivity. Unlike conventional heterointerfaces, these walls can be displaced inside a dielectric by an electric field, which is of interest for future electronic ...

AC Magnetoelectrical Susceptibility Study of Multiferroics

Abhisek Datta

Multiferroics are materials in which ferroelectric and magnetic e.g., ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic orders co-exist. Some of these show the magnetoelectric effect which is the coupling between electric and magnetic degrees of freedom leading to induct ...

Complex magnetic couplings in Co3TeO6

Helmuth Berger

We report powder and single-crystal neutron diffractionmeasurements, combinedwith x-ray powder diffraction data, to unravel the complex magnetic phase diagram and exchange coupling in Co3TeO6. The magnetic structures of the various phases differ markedly f ...
