The lattice strain and domain switching behaviour was investigated as a function of cyclic field and grain orientation for a pseudorhombohedral composition of the high Curie point piezoelectric system xBiScO3 - (1-x)PbTiO3 (x = 0.40) by…
We report on the frequency and stress dependence of the direct piezoelectric d33 coefficient in BiFeO3 ceramics. The measurements reveal considerable piezoelectric nonlinearity, i.e., dependence of d33 on the amplitude of the dynamic…
We calculate the effect of epitaxial strain on the structure and properties of multiferroic bismuth ferrite, BiFeO3, using first-principles density functional theory. We find that, while small strains cause only quantitative changes in…
We identify a first-order, isosymmetric transition between a ferrielectric (FiE) and ferroelectric (FE) state in $A$-site ordered LaScO$_{3}$/BiScO$_{3}$ and LaInO$_{3}$/BiInO$_{3}$ superlattices. Such a previously unreported ferroic…
The contributory mechanisms associated with high piezoelectric response in piezoelectric ceramics have been examined by in-situ electric field dependent high energy synchro x-ray diffraction study. A comparative study of electric field…
Quantitative strain measurements of the 1:1 B-site cation ordered domains, antiphase boundaries and dislocations in a highly ordered Pb(Sc1/2Ta1/2)O3 ceramic have been carried out by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and…
Bulk polycrystalline piezoelectric ceramics are extensively used in wide ranging applications as actuators, transducers, and sensors. For actuator applications, it is desirable that the piezoelectric ceramic gives as large electric field…
The widely used ferroelectric ceramics based actuators always suffer from small output strains (typically ~0.1-0.15%). Non-180{\deg} domain switching can generate large strain in ferroelectrics but it is usually irreversible. In this work,…
Micro-Raman spectroscopy has been used to study lattice dynamics associated with the ferroelectric domains of a BiFeO$_3$ single crystal at low temperature. The phonon assignment shows a large frequency splitting between the transverse and…
We report on the experimental investigation of a high-frequency (1MHz - 1.8GHz) dielectric dispersion in unpoled and poled Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 ceramics. Two overlapping loss peaks could be revealed in the dielectric spectrum. The linear dependence…
We report a detailed investigation into the response of single BaTiO3 (BTO) nanocrystals under applied electric fields (E-field) using Bragg Coherent Diffraction Imaging (BCDI). Our study reveals pronounced domain wall migration and…
Recently, a series of reports showing ultra-high electrostrain (> 1 %) have appeared in several Pb-free piezoceramics. The ultrahigh electrostrain has been attributed exclusively to the defect dipoles created in these systems. We examine…
Using the model system of ferroelectric domain walls, we explore the effects of long-range dipolar interactions and periodic ordering on the behavior of pinned elastic interfaces. In piezoresponse force microscopy studies of the…
The origin of frequently observed ultrahigh electric-induced longitudinal strain, ranging from 1% to 26%, remains an open question. Recent evidence suggests that this phenomenon is linked to the bending deformation of samples, but the…
The control of optical fields is usually achieved through the electro-optic or acousto-optic effect in single-crystal ferroelectric or polar compounds such as LiNbO3 or quartz. In recent years, tremendous progress has been made in…
Strain is known to greatly influence low temperature oxygen electrocatalysis on noble metal films, leading to significant enhancements in bifunctional activity essential for fuel cells and metal-air batteries. However, its catalytic impact…
Using first-principles calculations, we estimated the impact of large applied electric E fields on the structural, dielectric, and ferroelectric properties of typical ferroelectrics. At large fields, the structural parameters change…
We present the results of pressure-dependent far-infrared reflectivity measurements on the multiferroic perovskite BiFeO3 at room temperature. The observed behavior of the infrared-active phonon modes as a funtion of pressure clearly…
We report electrically switchable polarization and ferroelectric domain scaling over a thickness range of 5-100 nm in BiFeO3 films deposited on [110] vicinal substrates. The BiFeO3 films of variable thickness were deposited with SrRuO3…
Ultrahigh electrostrains (greater than 1%) in several piezoceramic systems have been reported since 2022, which attract more and more interest in the field of piezoelectricity; however, the mechanism is still unclear. Here, we have directly…
