Silver niobate (AgNbO3) is considered as one of the most promising lead-free replacements
for lead-containing antiferroelectric (AFE) ceramics, and has been drawing progressively …

Neutron diffraction studies using powder samples have been used to understand the
complex sequence of low temperature phase transitions of Na Nb O 3 in the temperature …

In pursuit of develo** high-performance lead-free energy storage capacitors, strontium
titanate (SrTiO3) and calcium titanate (CaTiO3) are widely recognised as promising …

The fundamental physics of antiferroelectric oxides and their properties are reviewed. First,
the difficulties in formulating a precise definition of antiferroelectricity are discussed, drawing …

Nanoscale structures, such as nanoparticles, nanorods, nanowires, nanocubes, and
