Compact autonomous ultrahigh power density energy storage and power generation
devices that exploit the spontaneous polarization of ferroelectric materials are capable of …

First-order polymorphic, second-order, melting, and freezing transitions induced by shock-
wave loading are reviewed. Comprehensive tabulations of the experimental observations …

This review contains a brief, comprehensive, critical assessment of the status of
investigations concerning the response of solids to shock compression. Mechanical …

The electrical power generation characteristics of Mn-doped PZT ceramics responding to
slow mechanical stress as well as to impact stress have been investigated. Although both …

Explosive pulsed power generators are devices that either convert the chemical energy
stored in explosives into electrical energy or use the shock waves generated by explosives …

Powders of several ceramic materials were subjected to explosive shock waves and
changes in their physical properties were studied. Very fine particle sized SiC and B4C …

The pressure‐driven explosive energy‐conversion (EEC) effect of ferroelectric (FE)
materials has been extensively studied in scientific research and high‐tech applications …

The force-electric effect in ferroelectrics is characterized by the release of bound charge
during pressure/shock-induced depolarization. In contrast to other electrical energy storage …

Thin circular disks of polarized ferroelectric, ceramics were equipped with electrodes on
their faces, and the electrodes were connected by a short circuit. Each disk was traversed by …

Stress-induced and thermal-induced depolarization studies along with X-ray diffraction were
performed on lead zirconate titanate ferroelectrics of different compositions, PbZr 0.52 Ti …
