Pb(Zn$_{1/3}$Nb$_{2/3}$)O$_{3}$ is one of the simplest representatives of the lead ferroelectric relaxors. Its solid solution with PbTiO$_{3}$, at concentrations near the morphotropic phase boundary, is especially important. In this paper,…

The material BaBiO$_{3}$ is known for its insulating character. However, for thin films, in the ultra-thin limit, metallicity is expected because BaBiO$_{3}$ is suggested to return to its undistorted cubic phase where the oxygen octahedra…
