Electromechanical properties of the 180° domain wall in PbTiO3
I. Rychetsky, A. Klic, W. Schranz
We analyze the electromechanical response of the 180 degree ferroelectric domain wall in tetragonal PbTiO3 by combining first-principles calculations with a Landau-Ginzburg-Devonsh…
Polar phase transition in -domain wall of lead titanate
I. Rychetsky, W. Schranz, A. Tröster
A new mechanism leading to a switchable polarization in a ferroelectric domain wall (DW) is proposed. A biquadratic coupling of the primary order parameter and its gradient trigger…
Symmetry and polarity of antiphase boundaries in PbZrO
Ivan Rychetsky, Wilfried Schranz, Andreas Tröster
The polar properties of antiphase boundaries (APBs) in PbZrO are analyzed in detail using a recently developed layer group approach in order parameter space and compared with t…
Dynamic mechanical analysis of supercooled water in nanoporous confinement
V. Soprunyuk, W. Schranz, P. Huber
Dynamical mechanical analysis (DMA)(f=0.2 - 100 Hz) is used to study the dynamics of confined water in mesoporous Gelsil (2.6 nm and 5 nm pores) and Vycor (10 nm) in the temperatur…
Polarity of domain boundaries in nonpolar materials derived from order parameter and layer group symmetry
W. Schranz, I. Rychetsky, J. Hlinka
Domain boundaries and other twin boundaries in crystalline materials are receiving increasing interest. They can carry unique functional properties, which in many cases are absent…
Giant domain wall response of highly twinned ferroelastic materials
W. Schranz, H. Kabelka, A. Sarras +1
Many ferroelastic crystals display at sufficiently low measurement frequencies a huge elastic softening below Tc which is caused by domain wall motion. Materials range from perovsk…
