We present a critical review that encompasses the fundamentals and state-of-the-art
knowledge of barium titanate-based piezoelectrics. First, the essential crystallography …

The recent review for the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS) by the
expert committee, appointed by the European Union, stated that the replacement of PZT “ …

After twenty years of partly quiet and ten years of partly enthusiastic research into lead-free
piezoceramics there are now clear prospects for transfer into applications in some areas …

This article aims to provide a comprehensive review of lead-free hybrid nano materials
based piezoelectric fillers. It narrates the basic concept of piezoelectricity and discusses the …

The ban of lead in many electronic products and the expectation that, sooner or later, this
ban will include the currently exempt piezoelectric ceramics based on Lead-Zirconate …

Solid solutions of (1− x) Ba (Zr 0.2 Ti 0.8) O 3-x (Ba 0.7 Ca 0.3) TiO 3 promise to exhibit a
large electrocaloric effect (ECE), because their Curie temperature and a multiphase …

The diffusionless pseudobinary phase diagram, monodomain properties, and free energy of
(1− x) Ba (Z r 0.2 T i 0.8) O 3-x (B a 0.7 C a 0.3) Ti O 3 are computed for comparison with …

There has been considerable progress in the development of large strain lead-free
perovskite ferroelectrics over the past decade. Under certain conditions, the …

Cellular behavior is crucially dependent on the biophysical and biochemical properties of
the extracellular matrix (ECM), in which the properties of biochemistry, topography, and …

In this paper, we report on studies of the electrocaloric (EC) effect in lead‐free (1− x) Ba (Zr0.
2Ti0. 8) O3–x (Ba0. 7Ca0. 3) TiO3 ceramics with compositions range between 0.32≤ x≤ …
