"Ultrahigh Electrostrictive Effect in Lead-Free Ferroelectric Ceramics " by Leiyang Zhang, Ruiyi Jing et al.
The electrostrictive effect, which induces strain in ferroelectric ceramics, offers distinct advantages over its piezoelectric counterpart for high-precision actuator applications, including anhysteretic behavior even at high frequencies, rapid reaction times, and no requirement for poling. Historically, commercially available electrostrictive materials have been lead oxide-based. However, global restrictions on the use of lead in electronic components necessitate the exploration of lead-free el...
