Pyroelectricity in poled all-organic polar polynorbornene/polydimethylsiloxane-based stretchable electrets
Pyroelectricity in a recently developed all-organic composite electret with a polar polynorbornene-based filler and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix has been studied with the help of thermal and dielectric techniques. Measurement of the pyroelectric p co ...
Royal Soc Chemistry2024Synthesis of polysiloxane elastomers modified with sulfonyl side groups and their electromechanical response
Holger Frauenrath, Yauhen Sheima
Dielectric elastomer transducers are elastic capacitors that respond to mechanical or electrical stress. They can be used in applications such as millimeter-sized soft robots and harvesters of the energy contained in ocean waves. The dielectric component o ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2023Stress effects on the impedance and ferroelectricity of PVDF-BiFeO3-MWCNT films using xanthan gum as dispersant
Composite films based on dispersions of bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) in polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) matrixes were prepared in the presence of multiwalled-carbon-nanotubes (MWCNT), using xanthan gum (XG) as dispersant. Films were prepared by spin coating and ...
ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA2022Large Anomalous Nernst Angle in Co2MnGa Thin Film
Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Haiming Yu, Simon Granville, Junfeng Hu, Yao Zhang, Song Liu
The new trends for anomalous Nernst effect (ANE)-based thermoelectric devices require materials with large ANE values to realize the scalable generation of voltage. Recently, very large ANE values have been observed in single crystals of some novel magneti ...
IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2022Individual Barkhausen pulses of ferroelastic nanodomains
Dragan Damjanovic, Vasiliki Tileli, Reinis Ignatans
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 ...

Véronique Michaud, Yves Leterrier, Dragan Damjanovic, Sara Dalle Vacche
Composites in which particles of ferroelectric ceramic phase are randomly dispersed in a polymeric matrix are of interest because of flexibility, conformability, and ease of processing. However, their piezoelectric properties are rather low, unless very hi ...
2020Dielectric Actuation Techniques at the Nanoscale: Piezoelectricity and Flexoelectricity
Micro- and nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) have long shown their potential to disrupt the established technologies. Over the past 15 years, MEMS have become fundamental components in filters, accelerometers, gyroscopes and gas sensors. MEMS are n ...
EPFL2019Al0.83Sc0.17N Contour-Mode Resonators With Electromechanical Coupling in Excess of 4.5%
Paul Muralt, Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Andrea Lozzi
In this paper, we demonstrate the fabrication of contour-mode resonators (CMRs) with Al0.83Sc0.17N as a piezoelectric layer. Moreover, we assess the electromechanical coupling and the maximum achieved quality factor from 150 to 500 MHz. In comparison to pu ...
2019Identification of microscopic domain wall motion from temperature dependence of nonlinear dielectric response
It is known that the permittivity of ferroelectric polydomain films and single crystals in weak electric fields is strongly enhanced by the reversible movement of pinned domain walls. Two mechanisms of the movement exist: first, the bending of free segment ...

Nava Setter, Nicola Marzari, Dragan Damjanovic, Alberto Biancoli, David Bahati
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 ...
