Domains in ferroelectrics were considered to be well understood by the middle of the last
century: They were generally rectilinear, and their walls were Ising-like. Their simplicity …

Due to issues with Pb toxicity, there is an urgent need for high performance Pb-free
alternatives to Pb-based piezoelectric ceramics. Although pure BaTiO3 material exhibits …

Defect engineering is a well‐established approach to customize the functionalities of
perovskite oxides. In demanding high‐power applications of piezoelectric materials …

An overview of the state of art in ferroelectric thin films is presented. First, we review
applications: microsystems' applications, applications in high frequency electronics, and …

With much excitement and great enthusiasm I introduce this thorough treatise on the major
aspects of domain and domain wall phenomena in ferroics, mostly ferroelectrics, a major …

Piezoelectric and ferroelectric materials are widely used in many areas of technology and
science. The sensors based on the piezoelectric effect transform mechanical signals into …

The structure of our material world is characterized by a large hierarchy of length scales that
determines material properties and functions. Increasing spatial resolution in optical imaging …

By using Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire theory, we numerically calculated the static
conductivity of charged domain walls with different incline angles with respect to the …

Because of the environmental concerns of eliminating lead from piezoelectric products,
bismuth‐based perovskite is becoming one of the most potential candidates. However, its …
