As a ferroelectric relaxor, PMN-PT excels at converting energy from one form to another. For instance, pressing on a thin film of this material generates a voltage, while applying an external ...

(Nanowerk News) A new study led by Rice University materials scientist Lane Martin sheds light on how the extreme miniaturization of thin films affects the behavior of relaxor ferroelectrics — ...

Next-generation advanced high/pulsed power capacitors urgently require dielectric materials with outstanding energy storage performance. (Bi 0.5 Na 0.5)TiO 3-based material, a typical lead-free ...
