A comprehensive review on the latest development of the antiferroelectric↔ ferroelectric
phase transition is presented. The abrupt volume expansion and sudden development of …

Noncentrosymmetric materials are of special interest in materials chemistry owing to their
technologically important properties, such as ferroelectricity and second-order nonlinear …

We survey the current state of the model antiferroelectric PbZrO3 (PZO) material. The
present paper may be seen as a short and non-exhaustive review of the main properties of …

Abstract PbZr1− xTixO3 (PZT) is one of the most important and widely used piezoelectric
materials. The study of its local and average structures is of fundamental importance in …

Simulations of electron diffraction patterns for each of the known perovskite tilt systems have
been performed. The conditions for the appearance of superlattice reflections arising from …

Dielectric capacitors with high energy storage density and high efficiency exhibit potential
applications in lightweight, miniaturized microelectronic devices. Here,(Pb, La)(Zr, Sn) O 3 …

Polarized Raman, IR, and time-domain THz spectroscopy of orthorhombic lead zirconate
single crystals have yielded a comprehensive picture of temperature-dependent …

PbZrO3 has been broadly considered as a prototypical antiferroelectric material for high-
power energy storage. A recent theoretical study suggests that the ground state of PbZrO3 is …

Antiferroelectric PbZrO3 has attracted renewed interest in recent years because of its unique
properties and wide range of potential applications. However, the nature of …

We report on the discovery of an isothermal structural transition observed in Bi 1-x La x FeO
3 (0.17⩽ x⩽ 0.19) ceramics. At room temperature, an initially pure polar rhombohedral …
