Synthesis of compositionally graded versions of PbZr(1-x)Ti(x)O3 thin films results in unprecedented strains (as large as ≈4.5 × 10(5) m(-1)) and correspondingly unexpected crystal structures, ferroelectric domain structures, and properties. This includes the observation of built-in electric fields in films as large as 200 kV/cm. Compositional and strain gradients could represent a new direction of strain-control of materials.
合成成分梯度的 PbZr(1-x)Ti(x)O3 薄膜会导致前所未有的应变(高达 ≈4.5×10(5) m(-1)),以及相应的出人意料的晶体结构、铁电畴结构和性能。这包括在高达 200 kV/cm 的薄膜中观察到内置电场。组成和应变梯度可能代表材料应变控制的一个新方向。
