There has been significant progress on the fundamental science and technological
applications of complex oxides and multiferroics. Among complex oxide thin films, barium …

Dielectric capacitors are irreplaceable energy-storage components in pulsed power
systems, but the low energy density (U e) of existing material systems restricts their …

Persistent luminescence or afterglow is caused by a gradual release of charge carriers from
trapping centers. The energy needed to release these charge carriers is determined by the …

With much excitement and great enthusiasm I introduce this thorough treatise on the major
aspects of domain and domain wall phenomena in ferroics, mostly ferroelectrics, a major …

Head-to-head and tail-to-tail 180° domain walls in a finite isolated ferroelectric sample are
theoretically studied using Landau theory. The full set of equations, suitable for numerical …

Polymer-ceramic nanocomposites play an essential role in the application of pulsed power
system, due to their ultrahigh power density and fast charging–discharging capability. It is …

A thermodynamic analysis is presented for the diffusionless phase diagrams of ferroelectric
solid solutions that display a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) separating adjacent …

We present a family of phase-field models for fracture in piezoelectric and ferroelectric
materials. These models couple a variational formulation of brittle fracture with …

We show that flexoelectric effect is responsible for the non-Ising character of a 180°
ferroelectric domain wall. The wall, long considered being of Ising type, contains both Bloch …

Nanostructures (NSs) of basic composition Sn 1− x Fe x/2 Co x/2 O 2 with x= 0.00, 0.04,
0.06, 0.08 and 0.1 were synthesized by citrate-gel route and characterized to understand …
