Antiferroelectric lead zirconate is the key ingredient in modern ferroelectric and piezoelectric
functional solid solutions. By itself it offers opportunities in new-type non-volatile memory …

Using the Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire theory, we established the role of the flexoelectric
coupling between the gradients of elastic strain and polarization in the stability of spatially …

Antiferroelectric perovskites form an important family of functional electric materials, which
have high potential in energy storage and conversion applications. However, a full …

We report a type of structural phase transitions in dielectric materials: the triggered
incommensurate (IC) transition. We demonstrate evidence for such a transition in the …

A combined neutron diffuse scattering study and model analysis of the antiferroelectric
crystal PbZrO3 is described. Following on from earlier X-ray diffuse scattering studies …

Control of domain and domain wall configurations in antiferroelectrics is a necessary step
towards practical use of new functionalities based on polar domain wall structures. Here we …

Using the Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire approach, we predict the intrinsic instability of the
ferroelectric-ferroelastic domain walls in the multiferroic BiFe O 3 emerging from the …

The dynamics of the phase transition in antiferroelectric PbZrO 3 which is the subject of a
decades-long debate, is examined using first-principles-based simulations. This is achieved …
