Ferroelectrics have a spontaneous electrical polarization that is arranged into domains and
can be reversed by an externally-applied field. This high versatility makes them useful in …

Due to the nature of domains, ferroics, including ferromagnetic, ferroelectric, and ferroelastic
materials, exhibit hysteresis phenomena with respect to external driving fields (magnetic …

Abstract (Bi 1/2 Na 1/2) TiO 3 (BNT) based lead-free incipient piezoceramics are promising
candidates for actuator applications due to their giant electromechanical strains originating …

Two‐dimensional arrangements of molecules can show remarkable cooperative electronic
effects. Such effects can serve to achieve direct electronic sensing of chemical and physical …

Piezoelectricity is manifested in ferroelectric ceramics by inducing a preferred volume
fraction of one ferroelectric domain variant orientation at the expense of degenerate …

Crystallographic texturing is a promising approach to reduce the performance gap between
randomly oriented polycrystalline piezoelectrics and perfectly oriented single crystals. Here …

Abstract Novel high-entropy (La0. 2Li0. 2Ba0. 2Sr0. 2Ca0. 2) Nb2O6-δ tungsten bronze
ceramics, fabricated by conventional solid-state reaction, were first studied to reveal the …

“On September 7, 2001, doctors in the United States performed the first long distance
operation, with surgeons in New York performing a laparoscopic cholecystectomy on a …

It was shown by Ouyang et al.[Appl. Phys. Lett. 86, 152901 (2005)] that the piezoelectric e
31, f coefficient is largest parallel to the spontaneous polarization in tetragonal PbZr x Ti 1− x …

Large plate‐like Na0. 5Bi0. 5TiO3 (NBT) templates have been successfully synthesized from
bismuth layer‐structured ferroelectric Na0. 5Bi4. 5Ti4O15 (NBIT) particles by the …
