Glory of piezoelectric perovskites
نویسنده
چکیده
This article reviews the history of piezoelectric perovskites and forecasts future development trends, including Uchino's discoveries such as the Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 electrostrictor, Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 single crystal, (Pb, La)(Zr, Ti)O3 photostriction, and Pb(Zr, Ti)O3-Terfenol magnetoelectric composites. We discuss five key trends in the development of piezomaterials: performance to reliability, hard to soft, macro to nano, homo to hetero, and single to multi-functional.

High-sensitivity piezoelectric perovskites for magnetoelectric composites
A highly topical set of perovskite oxides are high-sensitivity piezoelectric ones, among which Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 at the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) between ferroelectric rhombohedral and tetragonal polymorphic phases is reckoned a case study. Piezoelectric ceramics are used in a wide range of mature, electromechanical transduction technologies like piezoelectric sensors, actuators and ultrasoun...
متن کاملPhotoferroelectric and Photopiezoelectric Properties of Organometal Halide Perovskites.
Piezoelectrics play a critical role in various applications. The permanent dipole associated with the molecular cations in organometal halide perovskites (OMHPs) may lead to spontaneous polarization and thus piezoelectricity. Here we explore the piezoelectric properties of OMHPs with density functional theory. We find that the piezoelectric coefficient depends sensitively on the molecular order...
متن کاملBarium titanate as a ferroelectric and piezoelectric ceramics
Barium titanate is a member of a large family of compounds with the general formula ABO3 called perovskites, as the crystal size of barium titanate increases and at critical crystalline size crystal structure of barium titanate transformed from cubic to tetragonal. Transformation of crystal structure is also take place at Curi temperature. Cubic structure show paramagenatic behavior while tetra...
