The unusual properties of many multifunctional materials originate from a structural phase transformation and consequent martensitic microstructure. Phase-field models are typically …
A thermodynamic model was developed to analyze the effect of the difference in the thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) of a multilayered barium strontium titanate Ba 1− y Sr y TiO 3 …
Multifunctional, complex oxides capable of exhibiting highly-coupled electrical, mechanical, thermal, and magnetic susceptibilities have been pursued to address a range of salient …
We report the tunable electrical response in functionally graded interfaces in lead-free ferroelectric thin films. Multilayer thin film graded heterostructures were synthesized on …
