Funded Activity Summary

On the origin of high strain in lead-free piezoelectric materials. Legislation against the use of lead initiated a search for lead-free piezoelectric ceramics. This project aims to derive guidelines for the development and implementation of this new class of materials. This project will utilise an analysis technique that allows elucidation of the origin of the high strain in piezoelectric materials. A separate analysis of the three known strain mechanisms in materials with coexisting phases will innovatively correlate theory and macroscopic observation with processes on the atomic scale. The quantification of the contribution of each mechanism will lead to new insights into the enhancement of sustainable functional materials.
