Ferroelectrics have a spontaneous electrical polarization that is arranged into domains and
can be reversed by an externally-applied field. This high versatility makes them useful in …

Piezoelectric materials provide high strain and large driving forces in actuators and can
transform electrical energy into mechanical energy. Although they were discovered over 100 …

Abstract Domain wall motion in ferroics, similar to dislocation motion in metals, can be tuned
by well‐concepted microstructural elements. In demanding high‐power applications of …

ID15A is a newly refurbished beamline at the ESRF devoted to operando and time-resolved
diffraction and imaging, total scattering and diffraction computed tomography. The beamline …

Materials with high piezoelectricity have always been the pursuit of both industrial
production and scientific research. Designing new high-piezoelectricity materials and …

Field induced domain wall displacements define ferroelectric/ferroelastic hysteresis loops,
which are at the core of piezoelectric, magnetoelectric and memristive devices. These …

Antiferroelectric materials exhibit electric field-induced phase transitions between
antiferroelectric and ferroelectric states, which enable their use in energy storage and other …

Modern electronic devices are highly in demand for high-performance piezoelectric
materials. Herein, Pb (Ni, Nb) O3–Pb (Lu, Nb) O3–PbTiO3 piezoelectric ceramics are …

Mechanical pressure controls the structural, electric, and magnetic order in solid-state
systems, allowing tailoring of their physical properties. A well-established example is …

In this work, the dependency of the polarization (P)-electric field (E) loop area A of lead free
ferroelectrics Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 TiO 3 (NBT), K 0.5 Bi 0.5 TiO 3 (KBT), and Na 0.25 K 0.25 Bi 0.5 …
