Nonlinear dynamics of polar regions in paraelectric phase of (Ba1-x,Srx)TiO3 ceramics

Dragan Damjanovic

The dynamic dielectric nonlinearity of barium strontium titanate (Ba1-x, Sr-x) TiO3 ceramics is investigated in their paraelectric phase. With the goal to contribute to the identification of the mechanisms that govern the dielectric nonlinearity in this fa ...

Charge screening strategy for domain pattern control in nano-scale ferroelectric systems

Nava Setter, Tomas Sluka

Strain engineering is a widespread strategy used to enhance performance of devices based on semiconductor thin films. In ferroelectrics strain engineering is used to control the domain pattern: When an epitaxial film is biaxially compressed, e.g. due to la ...

Symmetry breaking in hexagonal and cubic polymorphs of BaTiO3

Dragan Damjanovic, Alberto Biancoli

BaTiO3 appears in cubic and hexagonal variants, both of which are centrosymmetric. Samples of cubic BaTiO3 are known to exhibit breaking of the centric symmetry locally and globally. It has been proposed that the local symmetry breaking originates in polar ...

Piezoelectric enhancement under negative pressure

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev, Tomas Sluka, Alexander Kvasov, Silviu Cosmin Sandu, Jin Wang

Enhancement of ferroelectric properties, both spontaneous polarization and Curie temperature under negative pressure had been predicted in the past from first principles and recently confirmed experimentally. In contrast, piezoelectric properties are expec ...

Short- and long-range polar order contributions to the Ferroelectric phase of Ca2+ doped SrTiO3

Alexander Tagantsev

Short- and long-range impurity-induced polar ordering in Sr1-xCaxTiO3 (x = 0.014) single crystals was investigated and discussed on the basis of light refraction, morphic birefringence and temperature-dependent dielectric hysteresis loop measurements. Anew ...

Piezoelectric Coefficients of AlScN Thin Films in Comparison

Paul Muralt, Ramin Matloub Aghdam, Mahmoud Hadad

Since the discovery of a high piezoelectric response in AlScN by Akiyama and coworkers in 2009, a number of works of other groups confirmed the large increase of piezoelectricity when partially substituting Al cations by Sc cations, as long as the alloy gr ...

The use of interdigitated electrodes (IDEs) in conjunction with ferroelectric thin films shows many attractive features for piezoelectric MEMS applications. In this work, growth of {1 0 0}-textured lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin films was achieved on i ...

Institute of Physics2015

A centrosymmetric stress cannot induce a polar response in centric materials; piezoelectricity is, for example, possible only in non-centrosymmetric structures. An exception is meta-materials with shape asymmetry, which may be polarized by stress even when ...

Phase transitions associated with competing order parameters in compressively strained SrTiO3 thin films

Alexander Tagantsev, Harry Joseph Trodahl

(100)-epitaxial SrTiO3 thin films having biaxial compressive strains up to -1.60% were grown on lattice mismatched substrates. Two phase transitions induced by the coupled instabilities (antiferrodistortive and ferroelectric) in SrTiO3 were revealed in a c ...

We present a simple approach enabling analytical treatments of size effects in ferroelectric samples of complicated shapes for the cases where long-range depolarizing effects are not involved. The key element of the approach is the presentation of the ener ...
