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…
Solution-Based Fabrication of High-Performance KNaNbO Thin Films for Surface Haptics
Nagamalleswara Rao Alluri, Longfei Song, Stephanie Girod +8
KNaNbO is among the most promising lead-free piezoelectrics. While its sputtered films match the performance of the champion piezoelectric Pb(Zr,Ti)O, repro…
Quantitative correlation between structural (dis-)order and diffuseness of phase transition in lead scandium tantalate
T. Granzow, A. Aravindhan, Y. Nouchokgwe +9
Ferroelectrics show a phase transition to a paraelectric phase at a well-defined transition temperature. Introducing disorder makes this transition diffuse, and the system becomes…
Ferroelectric HfO-ZrO multilayers with reduced wake-up
Barnik Mandal, Adrian-Marie Philippe, Nathalie Valle +3
Since the discovery of ferroelectricity in HfO thin films, significant research has focused on Zr-doped HfO and solid solution (Hf,Zr)O thin films. Functional propertie…
Giant Strain Tunability in Polycrystalline Ceramic Films via Helium Implantation
A. Blà zquez MartÃnez, S. GlinÅ¡ek, T. Granzow +5
Strain engineering is a powerful tool routinely used to control and enhance properties such as ferroelectricity, magnetic ordering, or metal-insulator transitions. Epitaxial strain…
