Energy storage optimization of ferroelectric ceramics during phase-transition process of amorphous/nanocrystalline and polycrystalline by using a phase-field model for dielectric breakdown

Ferroelectric ceramics have the potential to be widely applied in the modern industry and military power systems due to their ultrafast charging/discharging speed and high energy density. Considering the structural design and electrical properties of ferroelectric capacitor, it is still a challenge to find out the optimal energy storage of ferroelectric ceramics during the phase-transition process of amorphous/nanocrystalline and polycrystalline. In this work, a finite element model suitable for the multiphase ceramic system is constructed based on the phase field breakdown theory. The nonlinear coupling relationship of multiple physical fields between multiphase ceramics was taken into account in this model. The basic structures of multiphase ceramics are generated by using the Voronoi diagram construction method. The specified structure of multiphase ceramics in the phase-transition process of amorphous/nanocrystalline and polycrystalline was further obtained through the grain boundary diffusion equation. The simulation results show that the multiphase ceramics have an optimal energy storage in the process of amorphous polycrystalline transformation, and the energy storage density reaches the maximum when the crystallinity is 13.96% and the volume fraction of grain is 2.08%. It provides a research plan and idea for revealing the correlation between microstructure and breakdown characteristics of multiphase ceramics. This simulation model realizes the nonlinear coupling of the multiphase ceramic mesoscopic structure and the phase field breakdown. It provides a reference scheme for the structural design and performance optimization of ferroelectric ceramics..

Flexoelectricity in oxide thin films
Guoyang Shen, Renhong Liang, Zhiguo Wang, Zhiyong Liu, and Longlong Shu

Flexoelectric effect describes the electromechanical coupling between the strain gradient and its internal polarization in all dielectrics. Despite this universality, the resulting flexoelectric field remains small at the macroscopic level. However, in nanosystems, the size-dependent effect of flexoelectricity becomes increasingly significant, leading to a notable flexoelectric field that can strongly influence the material’s physical properties. This review aims to explore the flexoelectric effect specifically at the nanoscale. We achieve this by examining strain gradients generated through two distinct methods: internal inhomogeneous strain and external stimulation. In addition, advanced synthesis techniques are utilized to enhance the properties and functionalities associated with flexoelectricity. Furthermore, we delve into other coupled phenomena observed in thin films, including the coupling and utilization of flexomagnetic and flexophotovoltaic effects. This review presents the latest advancements in these areas and highlights their role in driving further breakthroughs in the field of flexoelectricity..

and the bottom thickness (

Based on the simulation data, the artificial neural network model is trained to describe the complex relationship between the design parameters of AFM and the performance parameters of UT. Then, the multiobjective optimization function for AFM is determined according to the desired performance parameters of UT, including focal position, lateral resolution, longitudinal resolution and absolute sound pressure. In order to obtain AFMs with the desired performance, PSO algorithm is adopted to optimize the design parameters of AFM according to the multiobjective optimization function, and two AFMs are optimized and fabricated. The experimental results well agree with the simulation and optimization results, and the optimized AFMs can achieve the desired performance. The fabricated AFM can be easily integrated with UT, which has great potential applications in wave field modulation underwater, acoustic tweezers, biomedical imaging, industrial nondestructive testing and neural regulation..
