Piezoelectric enhancement of ${(PbTiO}_{3})_{m} / {(BaTiO}_{3})_{n}$ ferroelectric superlattices through domain engineering

Journal Article Hong, Liang ; Wu, Pingping ; Li, Yulan ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

The phase diagram of (PbTiO3)m/(BaTiO3)n ferroelectric superlattices was computed using the phase-field approach as a function of layer volume fraction and biaxial strain to tune ferroelectric properties through domain engineering. Two interesting domain structures are found: one with mixed Bloch-Néel-Ising domain wall structures and the other with stabilized monoclinic phases. The polarization of the monoclinic phase is able to rotate from out-of-plane to in-plane or vice versa under an electric field, and thus facilitates the domain reversal of rhombohedral domains. This contributes significantly to both reduced coercive fields and enhanced piezoelectric responses.

Band-Gap Reduction in $(Bi Cr O_{3})_{m} / (Bi Fe O_{3})_{n}$ Superlattices: Designing Low-Band-Gap Ferroelectrics

Journal Article Zhang, S. ; Xiao, H. Y. ; Peng, S. M. ; ... - Physical Review Applied

Ferroelectric BiFeO₃ is promising for photovoltaic applications, especially in regard to the exploitation of ferroelectric photovoltaic effects for charge separation. However, its large band gap limits efficient sunlight absorption. Here, we demonstrate a new strategy to effectively tune the band gap of tetragonal BiFeO₃ via superlattice structuring with the ferroelectric BiCrO₃. The (BiCrO₃)_m/(BiFeO₃)_n superlattices are found to exhibit conventional ferroelectric properties, but low fundamental band gaps, smaller than either of the parent materials. First-principles calculations reveal that the unexpected band-gap reduction is induced by charge reconstruction due to lattice strain, octahedral distortion, and polarization discontinuity at the BiCrO₃-BiFeO₃ interfaces. Ultimately,more »« less

Thermal fluctuations of ferroelectric nanodomains in a ferroelectric-dielectric ${PbTiO}_{3} / {SrTiO}_{3}$ superlattice

Journal Article Zhang, Qingteng ; Dufresne, Eric M. ; Chen, Pice ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Ferroelectric/dielectric superlattices consisting of alternating layers of ferroelectric PbTiO₃ and dielectric SrTiO₃ exhibit a disordered striped nanodomain pattern, with characteristic length scales of 6 nm for the domain periodicity and 30 nm for the in-plane coherence of the domain pattern. Spatial disorder in the domain pattern gives rise to coherent hard x-ray scattering patterns exhibiting intensity speckles. We show here that using variable-temperature Bragg-geometry x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) that x-ray scattering patterns from the disordered domains exhibit a continuous temporal decorrelation due to spontaneous domain fluctuations. The temporal decorrelation can be described using a compressed exponential function, consistent withmore »« less

Local twin domains and tip-voltage-induced domain switching of monoclinic $M_{C}$ phase in $Pb (M g_{1 / 3} N b_{2 / 3}) O_{3} - 0.34 PbTi O_{3}$ single crystal revealed by piezoresponse force microscopy

Journal Article Wang, Ruixue ; Yang, Bin ; Luo, Zhenlin ; ... - Physical Review B

Here, the monoclinic (M) phases in high-performance relaxor-based ferroelectric single crystals have been recognized to be a vital structural factor for the outstanding piezoelectric property. However, due to the complexity of the structure in M phases, the understanding about it is still limited. In this paper, the local twin domains and tip-voltage-induced domain switching of the M_C phase in Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃ - 0.34PbTiO₃ (PMN-0.34PT) single crystal have been intensively investigated by piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM). By theoretically analyzing the experimental patterns of domain walls on the (001)_C face, the specific M_C twin domains in the initial annealed state of a selectedmore »« less
