Piezoelectric enhancement under negative pressure

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev, Silviu Cosmin Sandu, Jin Wang, Tomas Sluka, Alexander Kvasov

Enhancement of ferroelectric properties, both spontaneous polarization and Curie temperature under negative pressure had been predicted in the past from first principles and recently confirmed experimentally. In contrast, piezoelectric properties are expec ...

Effective-surface-energy approach for size effects in ferroics

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev, Jin Wang

We present a simple approach enabling analytical treatments of size effects in ferroelectric samples of complicated shapes for the cases where long-range depolarizing effects are not involved. The key element of the approach is the presentation of the ener ...

A hybrid absorption-adsorption method to efficiently capture carbon

Jin Wang, Berend Smit, Xiaoqi Zhang, Yuqing Wu

Removal of carbon dioxide is an essential step in many energy-related processes. Here we report a novel slurry concept that combines specific advantages of metal-organic frameworks, ion liquids, amines and membranes by suspending zeolitic imidazolate frame ...

Analysis of composition homogeneity and polarization orientation of PZT submicron fibers by micro-Raman spectroscopy

Nava Setter, Silviu Cosmin Sandu, Jin Wang

Micro-Raman spectroscopy is a convenient tool to probe individual objects with a feature size on the submicron scale. The phase, composition, and orientation of Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 fibers fabricated via hydrothermal processing have been characterized by this tech ...

Mechanism of hydrothermal growth of ferroelectric PZT nanowires

Nava Setter, Silviu Cosmin Sandu, Alexandre Durussel, Jin Wang, Mtabazi Geofrey Sahini

The formation mechanism of hydrothermally grown monocrystalline ferroelectric PZT nanowires is investigated. It is shown that the growth proceeds via a two-step process. Particles of the centrosymmetric PX-phase grow initially, having a fibrous morphology ...

Synchrotron X-ray diffraction study on a single nanowire of PX-phase lead titanate

Nava Setter, Silviu Cosmin Sandu, Jin Wang

Synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements of Pb-Ti-O fine acicular crystals (nanowires) of the so-called PX-phase have been performed. The theta-2 theta patterns of the nanowires dispersed on substrates with two different geometries indicated that t ...

Ferroelectric Nanowires : an Investigation in Synthesis, Characterization, Functionality, and Modeling of Finite Size Effects

Jin Wang

Ferroelectric perovskites exhibit superior dielectric, piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties. Architecting ferroelectrics in the small scale holds interest in both application and fundamental research. Compared to their 2D counterparts – thin films, f ...

Structural Property and Electric Field Response of a Single Perovskite PbTiO3 Nanowire Using Micro X-ray Beam

Nava Setter, Jin Wang

The structural property and electric field response of a single perovskite PbTiO3 nanowire were investigated by means of synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) with a micro X-ray beam. XRD 0-20 patterns and Raman spectra confirmed the formation of the perovsk ...
