"Ultrahigh electrostrictive strain and its response to mechanical loadi" by Qinghu Guo, Xiangyu Meng et al.
Electrostrictive materials play an important role in the development of high precision actuators, due to the advantages of high resolution, low power dissipation and fast response time. However, the practical application of electrostrictive materials has been hindered by their limited displacement output. To address this, we conducted a study where we doped Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 (PMN-PT) ceramics with Nd2O3, aiming to significantly improve the electrostrictive effect by enhancing local structural heterogeneities that disrupt the formation of long-range ordered ferroelectric domains. We obtai...
