Grain size effects and structure origin in high-performance BaTiO3-based piezoceramics with large grains

Yanli Huang et al.

Summary: Grain size has a significant influence on the electrical properties of piezoceramics. This study investigated the effects of grain size in high-performance and large-grain piezoceramics and explored the structural origin. By tuning sintering conditions, a high-performance BaTiO3-based ceramic with large grain sizes ranging from -53 to -92 μm was achieved. With increasing grain size, the ceramics exhibited similar multiphase coexistence state, phase transition temperature, dielectric peaks, and reduced diffuseness degree. The larger and more complex non-180 degrees domains within bigger grains resulted in improved remnant polarization, coercive field, and negative strain. Consequently, the piezoelectric coefficient d33 increased from 500 to 650 pC/N. However, excessively large grains may lead to reduced strain due to high remnant strain in the first cycle. Therefore, while large grain size is conducive to achieving high piezoelectricity, moderate grain size can facilitate strain response in high-performance ceramics with large grains, which differs from pure BT ceramic. This study provides insights into the grain size effects and offers guidance for further optimizing the electrical properties in high-performance piezoceramics with large grains.

Abnormal grain growth in iron-containing SiC fibers

Yanwen Li et al.

Summary: Iron-rich particles play a crucial role in the rapid grain growth of SiC fibers during sintering by facilitating coherent attachment of grains and using neighboring irregular-shaped nanograins as building blocks. This growth mechanism introduces structural heterogeneities, including the formation of low angle grain boundaries and porosities.

Bi-templated grain growth maximizing the effects of texture on piezoelectricity

Woo-Seok Kang et al.

Summary: This study proposes a new strategy for maximizing texturing effect by suppressing the growth of untextured matrix grains, successfully preparing textured ceramics with ultrahigh piezoelectric properties. It demonstrates that in the templated grain growth technique, not only the degree of texture but also the coarsening of untextured matrix grains should be well-controlled.

Effect of Grain Size on the Electrocaloric Properties of Polycrystalline Ferroelectrics

Xu Hou et al.

Summary: The study found that grain size has a significant impact on the electrocaloric effect of polycrystalline ferroelectrics, with larger grain size models having higher adiabatic temperature changes and maximum adiabatic temperature values. In contrast, smaller grain size models showed lower adiabatic temperature changes and shifted maximum adiabatic temperature values to lower temperatures.

Phase field simulation of abnormal grain growth mediated by initial particle size distribution

Yongmei Zhang et al.

Summary: The effect of initial particle size distribution on the growth kinetics of grains was investigated. It was found that the growth rate of large grains slowed down as the initial grain size distribution widened. Regulating the initial particle size distribution will be an effective way to control abnormal grain growth.
