“…The depolarization field produced by the bound charges leads to the appearance of nanodomains at the boundary and their growth into the virgin material. Such mechanism has been discussed for relaxor ferroelectrics to explain formation of a nanodomain structure after heating of a single-domain crystal from a ferroelectric to a relaxor phase, consisting of isolated nonpolar regions within a ferroelectric matrix [ 22 , 23 ].…”

Ferroelectric nanodomains were formed in bulk lithium niobate single crystals near nanostructured microtracks laser-inscribed by 1030-nm 0.3-ps ultrashort laser pulses at variable pulse energies in sub- and weakly filamentary laser nanopatterning regimes. The microtracks and related nanodomains were characterized by optical, scanning probe and confocal second-harmonic generation microscopy methods. The nanoscale material sub-structure in the microtracks was visualized in the sample cross-sections by atomic force microscopy (AFM), appearing weakly birefringent in polarimetric microscope images. The piezoresponce force microscopy (PFM) revealed sub-100 nm ferroelectric domains formed in the vicinity of the embedded microtrack seeds, indicating a promising opportunity to arrange nanodomains in the bulk ferroelectric crystal in on-demand positions. These findings open a new modality in direct laser writing technology, which is related to nanoscale writing of ferroelectric nanodomains and prospective three-dimensional micro-electrooptical and nanophotonic devices in nonlinear-optical ferroelectrics.

“…Although increasing Zr content does not change the general appearance of the permittivity, it does influence its characteristic temperatures and values. An increasing degree of structural disorder has been reported to induce a reduction in permittivity and shift of the anomalous temperatures to lower values for various relaxor systems . As the addition of Zr increases disorder on the B‐site of the perovskite structure, a continuous reduction in permittivity and the anomalous temperatures would be expected.…”

Influence of B‐Site Disorder on the Properties of Unpoled Bi_1/2Na_1/2TiO₃‐0.06Ba(Zr_xTi_1‐x)O₃ Piezoceramics

The influence of B-site disorder on the dielectric, microstructural, and structural characteristics of unpoled, lead-free (Bi 1/2 Na 1/2 )TiO 3 -0.06Ba(Zr x Ti 1-x )O 3 piezoelectric ceramics with x = 0.02, 0.10, and 0.15 was investigated. The low and medium doping level introduced a stabilization of polar nanoregions reflected in the shift of the dispersive permittivity anomalies to higher temperatures and the development of lamellar rhombohedral domains embedded in the prevalent tetragonal nanodomain matrix. For higher Zr level, the regions of lamellar domains remain, but the dielectric characteristics indicate a reduction in the previous stabilization effect. This behavior is rationalized by a reduction in the correlation length due to the increasing amount of nonpolar sample volume with increasing Zr addition.
