Anisotropic epitaxial stabilization of a low-symmetry ferroelectric with enhanced electromechanical response

Oliver Paull et al.

Summary: Epitaxial strain and orientation engineering have been combined to create a low-symmetry phase of BiFeO3 with enhanced piezoelectric response, which undergoes a transition to the tetragonal-like polymorph under electric field. This results in an enhanced piezoelectric response throughout the film and associated field-induced reversible strains. This approach offers a way to improve the functionalities of thin-film piezoelectrics, with potential applications in other functional oxides.

Atomic-resolution electron microscopy of nanoscale local structure in lead-based relaxor ferroelectrics

Abinash Kumar et al.

Summary: Scanning transmission electron microscopy is used to quantify the structural complexity of relaxor ferroelectric systems, revealing the spatial correlation between nanoscale heterogeneities and local polarization. Three main contributions related to Ti content include chemical order, oxygen octahedral tilt, and oxygen octahedral distortion, which disrupt long-range polarization and lead to nanoscale domain formation and the relaxor response. Nanoscale regions of monoclinic-like distortion directly correlate with Ti content and electromechanical performance, validating models needed for the development of the next generation of relaxor ferroelectrics.
