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…
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…
