Domain-induced control of latent heat in freestanding BaTiO membranes
Tapas Bar, David Pesquera, Arnau Villalobos-Martin +11
Thin ferroelectric BaTiO films often exhibit continuous transitions instead of the first-order behavior of bulk crystals, a discrepancy usually attributed to epitaxial strain o…
Beware of the water: Hidden hydrogenation of perovskite membranes made by the water-soluble sacrificial layer method
Umair Saeed, Felip Sandiumenge, Kumara Cordero-Edwards +5
The fabrication of perovskite oxide free-standing films (membranes) by lift-off methods using water-soluble sacrificial layers is appealing because of the new mechanical degrees of…
Hierarchical domain structures in buckled ferroelectric free sheets
David Pesquera, Kumara Cordero-Edwards, Marti Checa +11
Flat elastic sheets tend to display wrinkles and folds. From pieces of clothing down to two-dimensional crystals, these corrugations appear in response to strain generated by sheet…
Translational boundaries as incipient ferrielectric domains in antiferroelectric PbZrO3
Ying Liu, Ranming Niu, Andrzej Majchrowski +4
In the archetypal antiferroelectric PbZrO3, antiparallel electric dipoles cancel each other, resulting in zero spontaneous polarisation at the macroscopic level. Yet in actual hyst…
Switchable tribology of ferroelectrics
Seongwoo Cho, Iaroslav Gaponenko, Kumara Cordero-Edwards +9
Artificially induced asymmetric tribological properties of ferroelectrics offer an alternative route to visualize and control ferroelectric domains. Here, we observe the switchable…
Flexoelectric fracture-filter effect in ferroelectrics
Kumara Cordero-Edwards, Hoda Kianirad, Jordi Sort +2
The propagation front of a crack generates large strain gradients and it is therefore a strong source of gradient-induced polarization (flexoelectricity). Herein, we demonstrate th…
