Symmetry breaking in hexagonal and cubic polymorphs of BaTiO3
Sina Hashemizadeh, Alberto Biancoli, Dragan Damjanovic
BaTiO3 appears in cubic and hexagonal variants, both of which are centrosymmetric. Samples of cubic BaTiO3 are known to exhibit breaking of the centric symmetry locally and globall…
Breaking of macroscopic centric symmetry in paraelectric phases of ferroelectric materials and implications for flexoelectricity
Alberto Biancoli, Chris M. Fancher, Jacob L. Jones +1
A centrosymmetric stress cannot induce a polar response in centric materials, piezoelectricity is, for example, possible only in non-centrosymmetric structures. An exception is met…
Elastic, dielectric and piezoelectric anomalies and Raman spectroscopy of 0.5Ba(Ti0.8Zr0.2)O3-0.5(Ba0.7Ca0.3)TiO3
Dragan Damjanovic, Alberto Biancoli, Leili Batooli +2
The solid solution 0.5Ba(Ti0.8Zr0.2)O3-0.5(Ba0.7Ca0.3)TiO3 (BCZT) is a promising lead-free piezoelectric material with exceptionally high piezoelectric coefficients. The strong res…
