Recent developments in piezoelectric films have heightened the need for the reliable methods to correctly characterize their piezoelectric coefficients. Here, we demonstrate that capacitive displacement method can be used to determine…
In spite of being highly relevant for the development of a new generation of information storage devices, not many single-phase materials displaying magnetic and ferroelectric orders above room temperature are known. Moreover, these…
We investigate the thermoelastic response of a nanolayered sample composed of a metallic SrRuO3 (SRO) electrode sandwiched between a ferroelectric Pb(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3 (PZT) film with negative thermal expansion and a SrTiO3 substrate. SRO is…
Nickel oxide (NiO) is a binary compound with a lot of applications in the present technology. NiO thin films were deposited by reactive sputtering magnetron under several voltage biases applied in the glass substrates (0, 50, 100, 200, 300,…
