Abstract
ABSTRACT Porous ferroelectric materials show great potential for achieving competitive dielectric/piezoelectric properties with light weight. In this study, a phase-field model was employed to simulate the ferroelectric domain structure evolution of porous barium titanate. It is suggested that the ferroelectric/dielectric/piezoelectric properties are strongly influenced by the porosity level and the size of pores for porous ceramics. It is demonstrated that the ferroelectric switching behaviour, the remnant polarisation, the dielectric constant and the piezoelectric constant are enhanced in nanoporous ferroelectrics with ellipse-shaped pores by introducing mechanisms of symmetry breaking. By providing a means of achieving enhanced properties, nanoporous ferroelectrics with ellipse-shaped pores may have a broad impact on the applications of ferroelectrics and enhance the utility of the materials for selected applications.
期刊介绍：
Philosophical Magazine Letters is the rapid communications part of the highly respected Philosophical Magazine, which was first published in 1798. Its Editors consider for publication short and timely contributions in the field of condensed matter describing original results, theories and concepts relating to the structure and properties of crystalline materials, ceramics, polymers, glasses, amorphous films, composites and soft matter. Articles emphasizing experimental, theoretical and modelling studies on solids, especially those that interpret behaviour on a microscopic, atomic or electronic scale, are particularly appropriate.
Manuscripts are considered on the strict condition that they have been submitted only to Philosophical Magazine Letters , that they have not been published already, and that they are not under consideration for publication elsewhere.
