Visualization of polar nanoregions in lead-free relaxors via piezoresponse force microscopy in torsional dual AC resonance tracking mode.
Polar nanoregions (PNRs) play a key role in the functionality of relaxor ferroelectrics; however, visualizing them in lead-free relaxor ferroelectrics with high lateral resolution is still challenging. Thus, we studied herein the local ferroelectric domain distribution of the lead-free bismuth-based (1 -x)(Bi1/2Na1/2TiO3-Bi1/2K1/2TiO3) -x(Bi1/2Mg1/2TiO3) piezoceramics which show a relaxor behav...
متن کاملBasic study of relaxors: Materials for high technological devices
Ferroelectric relaxors belong to a subgroup of ferroelectric materials. Relaxors are characterised by unique dielectric, polarization, electromechanical and electro-optical properties. These extraordinary properties make them suitable for high technological electronic devices such as sensors, actuators, electro or elasto-optic and photorefractive elements. Understanding the origin of these prop...
متن کاملA Temperature-Dependent Hysteresis Model for Relaxor Ferroelectric Compounds
This paper summarizes the development of a homogenized free energy model which characterizes the temperature-dependent hysteresis and constitutive nonlinearities inherent to relaxor ferroelectric materials. A kernel for the model is developed through mesoscopic energy analysis and extended to provide macroscopic constitutive relations through stochastic homogenization techniques based on the as...
متن کاملOrientation dependence of electromechanical properties of relaxor based ferroelectric single crystals.
The orientation dependence of electromechanical properties of relaxor based ferroelectric single crystals Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3-(6-7)%PbTiO3 and Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-33%PbTiO3 has been calculated by coordinate transformation. Different from previous studies, the optimum cutting orientations have been predicted in terms of their piezoelectric responses in the corresponding crystal planes. The calculation...
