Tunable electrocaloric effect in lead scandium tantalate through calcium doping
Youri Nouchokgwe, Natalya S. Fedorova, Pranab Biswas +11
State-of-the-art electrocaloric cooling prototypes rely on the conventional electrocaloric effect of ferroelectric lead scandium tantalate (PbSc0.5Ta0.5O3, PST), which peaks near r…
History-dependent and frequency-dependent dielectric nonlinearities induced by polar nanoregions in a thin film of 0.5 ( Ba 0.7 Ca 0.3 TiO 3 ) -- 0.5 ( BaZr 0.2 Ti 0.8 O 3 )
Kevin Nadaud, Guillaume Nataf, Nazir Jaber +3
In this article, dielectric nonlinearities in 0.5(Ba0.7 Ca0.3 TiO3 ) -- 0.5(BaZr 0.2 Ti0.8 O3 ) thin film are studied using impedance spectroscopy and harmonic measurements, as a f…
Domain-wall driven suppression of thermal conductivity in a ferroelectric polycrystal
Rachid Belrhiti-Nejjar, Manuel Zahn, Patrice Limelette +8
A common strategy for reducing thermal conductivity of polycrystalline systems is to increase the number of grain boundaries. Indeed, grain boundaries enhance the probability of ph…
Enhancement of piezoelectric properties in a narrow cerium doping range of evidenced by high throughput experiment
Kevin Nadaud, Guillaume F. Nataf, Nazir Jaber +5
Lead-free materials based on the (BCZT) system exhibit excellent electromechanical properties that can be strongly modified by small amounts of dopants…
