For decades it has been a well-known fact that among the few ferroelectric compounds in the perovskite family namely BaTiO3, KNbO3, PbTiO3 Na1/2Bi1/2TiO3 the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of BaTiO3 is considerably higher than the…

We have developed first-principles models, based on a general parametrization of the full potential-energy surface, to investigate the lattice-dynamical properties of perovskite oxides. We discuss the application of our method to prototypic…

Recent structural studies of ferroelectric PbZr(1-x)TixO3 (PZT) with x= 0.48, have revealed a new monoclinic phase in the vicinity of the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB), previously regarded as the the boundary separating the rhombohedral…

Strontium titanate is an incipient ferroelectric in which superconductivity emerges at exceptionally low doping levels. Remarkably, stabilizing the polar phase through strain or chemical substitution has been shown to significantly enhance…

Evidence is presented for the first time that the sharp and continuous spectral changes observed in PbZr0.52Ti0.48O3 (PZT) between 350 and 10 K with the 647.1 nm wavelength are due to a resonance Raman effect. Such a phenomenon can be…

Many dipolar topological structures have been experimentally demonstrated in (PbTiO$_3$)$_n$/(SrTiO$_3$)$_n$ superlattices, such as flux-closure, vortice, and skyrmion. In this work, we employ deep potential molecular dynamics (MD) to…

We review some of the current research on two of the ultra-high piezoelectric relaxors Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 (PMN) and Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3 (PZN). The discovery of a monoclinic phase in Pb(Zr1-xTix)O3 (PZT) in 1999 by Noheda et al. forced a…

PbTiO3 has the highest tetragonal distortion (c/a=1.064) and highest spontaneous polarization among perovskite titanates. But, it is hazardous and hence one needs to reduce Pb content by substituting or reducing Pb content for use in…

We report the finding of unusual scale-dependent symmetry below the ferroelectric Curie temperature in the perovskite Pb(Zr1-xTix)O3 single crystals of morphotropic phase boundary compositions. The crystals of tetragonal symmetry (from…

A first-principles-derived approach is used to study structural, piezoelectric and dielectric properties of Pb(Zr_{1-x}Ti_{x})O_{3} (PZT) solid solutions near the morphotropic phase boundary at low temperature. Three ferroelectric phases…

We have carried out powder x-ray diffraction and dielectric studies on the lead free solid solution (1-x)SrTiO3-xBi(Zn1/2Ti1/2)O3 ((1-x)ST-xBZT) with x=0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.30 and 0.50 to explore the ferroelectric and piezoelectric…

Structural phase transitions in the organic inorganic metal halide perovskites are driven via rearrangement of methylammonium cation and distortion in the PbX6 octahedra. Compositional tuning is usually incorporated for suppression of the…

Proximity to phase transitions (PTs) is frequently responsible for the largest dielectric susceptibilities in ferroelectrics. The impracticality of using temperature as a control parameter to reach those large responses has motivated the…

Several experiments conducted over decades have revealed that the perovskite-structured BaCeO3 goes through a series of temperature-induced structural phase transitions. However, it has been frequently observed that the number of phases and…

The phase diagram of lead-free piezoelectric (1-x)K0.5Na0.5NbO3-xBi0.5Na0.5TiO3 system has been studied by high-resolution synchrotron powder diffraction, neutron powder diffraction and selected area electron diffraction (SAED). The two…

Perovskite oxide ferroelectrics show classical soft mode behaviour typical for the onset of a homogeneous long-range polar state and a displacive phase transition. Besides these long wave length properties, local effects are observed by…

We report our Raman studies of a new lead-free relaxor ferroelectrics, Ba0.85Ca0.15Ti0.9Zr0.1O3 (BCTZO). The Raman modes of BCTZO are compared with those of BaTi0.8Zr0.2O3 (BTZO), and BaTiO3 (BTO). Also, they are compared with the…

Ruthenium-based perovskite systems are attractive because their Structural, electronic and magnetic properties can be systematically engineered. SrRuO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ superlattice, with its period consisting of one unit cell each, is very…

We have investigated the structural phase transitions of the transition metal oxide perovskites SrTiO$_{3}$, LaAlO$_{3}$ and LaTiO$_{3}$ using the screened hybrid density functional of Heyd, Scuseria and Ernzerhof (HSE06). We show that…

Using data obtained from first-principles calculations, we show that the position of the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) and transition temperature at MPB in ferroelectric perovskite solutions can be predicted with quantitative accuracy…
