Toward a brightness upgrade to the SwissFEL: A high gradient traveling-wave rf photogun

Mike Seidel, Paolo Craievich, Sven Reiche, Anastasiya Magazinik

The first generation of S-band injectors for free-electron lasers has illustrated high reliability and performance by driving the latest generation of high brightness machines. However, the ultimate electron beam brightness of these devices is limited by t ...

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 ...

Dynamic piezoelectric response of relaxor single crystal under electrically driven inter-ferroelectric phase transformations

Dragan Damjanovic

In this work, we demonstrate that xPb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3-(1-x-y)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-yPbTiO3 [110]-poled domain-engineered relaxor single crystals can be dynamically and reversibly driven through a ferroelectric–ferroelectric phase transition exhibiting a highly en ...

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 ...

Origins of the macroscopic symmetry breaking in centrosymmetric phases of perovskite oxides

Sina Hashemi Zadeh

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 ...

The negative piezoelectric effect of the ferroelectric polymer poly(vinylidene fluoride)

Dragan Damjanovic

Piezoelectricity describes interconversion between electrical charge and mechanical strain. As expected for lattice ions displaced in an electric field, the proportionality constant is positive for all piezoelectric materials. The exceptions are poly(vinyl ...

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 ...

Nano-SAW devices for RFID and sensing applications: study of lithium niobate behavior

Andrea Lozzi, Seïfeddine Mounir Ben Khelil

The key element of a SAW device is the piezoelectric material that allows conversion between electrical and mechanical energy. Lithium niobate is an appealing material as it could potentially provide high efficient SAW devices. This material is strongly an ...
