Breakthrough in understanding piezoelectric mechanism in Pb-free ferroelectrics

By Eileen De Guire / September 11, 2012

Applying a poling field (Epol) creates a rhombohedral (R)/tetragonal (T) morphotropic phase boundary in a single phase grain of (Bi½Na½)TiO3-6%BaTiO3. Such direct in-situ transmission electron microscopy observations led to the…
