Twinning, slip and size effect of phase-transforming ferroelectric nanopillars
Ferroelectric materials are widely used in energy applications due to their field-driven multiferroic properties. The stress-induced phase transformation plays an important role in the functionality over repeated and consecutive operation cycles, especially at the micro/nanoscales. Here we report a systematic in-situ uniaxial compression tests on cuboidal Barium titanate (BaTiO) nanopillars with size varying from 100 nm to 3000 nm, by which we explore the stress-induced transformation and its interplay with plastic deformation. We confirm the superelasticity achieved in pillars by martensitic phase transformation from tetragonal to orthorhombic. There exists a critical size, 330 nm, for the yield stress. Above 330 nm, martensitic phase transformation aids slip along the plane with a low Schmid factor, in turn, the pseudo-compatible twins form within the shear band. The scaling exponent of size-dependent yield strength is found to be exactly 1. For nanopillars smaller than 330 nm, no twins form, only slips with large Schmid factors are activated, and size effect vanishes. All pillars with sizes from 100 nm to 300 nm achieve the theoretical yield limit around 9 GPa. Our experimental results uncover the interplay between twins and slips in BaTiO nanopillars, which pave the way for the optimization of microstructure design of ferroelectric materials for microelectronic applications at small scales.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Journal of The Mechanics and Physics of Solids is to publish research of the highest quality and of lasting significance on the mechanics of solids. The scope is broad, from fundamental concepts in mechanics to the analysis of novel phenomena and applications. Solids are interpreted broadly to include both hard and soft materials as well as natural and synthetic structures. The approach can be theoretical, experimental or computational.This research activity sits within engineering science and the allied areas of applied mathematics, materials science, bio-mechanics, applied physics, and geophysics.
The Journal was founded in 1952 by Rodney Hill, who was its Editor-in-Chief until 1968. The topics of interest to the Journal evolve with developments in the subject but its basic ethos remains the same: to publish research of the highest quality relating to the mechanics of solids. Thus, emphasis is placed on the development of fundamental concepts of mechanics and novel applications of these concepts based on theoretical, experimental or computational approaches, drawing upon the various branches of engineering science and the allied areas within applied mathematics, materials science, structural engineering, applied physics, and geophysics.
The main purpose of the Journal is to foster scientific understanding of the processes of deformation and mechanical failure of all solid materials, both technological and natural, and the connections between these processes and their underlying physical mechanisms. In this sense, the content of the Journal should reflect the current state of the discipline in analysis, experimental observation, and numerical simulation. In the interest of achieving this goal, authors are encouraged to consider the significance of their contributions for the field of mechanics and the implications of their results, in addition to describing the details of their work.
