Self-biased magnetoelectric (ME) composites, defined as materials that enable large ME
coupling under external AC magnetic field in the absence of DC magnetic field, are an …

We report Raman-scattering studies of polycrystalline BaTiO 3 under pressure up to 8.6
GPa. Our data show evidence for two structural phase transformations, one at around 2 GPa …

Thin-film electrocaloric and pyroelectric sources for electrothermal energy interconversion
have recently emerged as viable means for primary and auxiliary solid-state cooling and …

This thoroughly updated new edition includes an entirely new team of contributing authors
with backgrounds specializing in the various new applications of sputtering technology. It …

Abstract Layered Double Hydroxides (LDHs) have outstanding properties, including
straightforward fabrication and connection of high-density arrays of aligned nanostructures …

The boundary conditions, customarily used in the Landau-type approach to ferroelectric thin
films and nanostructures, have to be modified to take into account that a surface of a …

A thermodynamic model is presented that describes the polarization and the dielectric
response of ferroelectric-paraelectric bilayers and multilayers. It is shown that a strong …

A generalized Landau-Ginzburg model is constructed and used to develop a methodology
for analyzing graded ferroic materials. Material system inhomogeneities are assumed to …

Effective pyroelectric coefficients as large as 5 C/cm2 C, with peak responsivities at
approximately 50 C, were obtained from compositionally graded barium strontium titanate …

Highly (100) textured graded manganese (Mn) doped Ba 0.5 Sr 0.5 TiO 3 [BST (50/50)] thin
films were deposited on lanthanum aluminate substrates using sol-gel technique. We have …
