- Additional information
- This work has established a new electric-field induced structural model to explain the unusually large electrostrain in a familly of environmentally friendly ceramic piezoelectric materials for actuators. This was accomplished by an international collaboration between the UK (SHU, UoSheffield, UofManchester, Diamond Light Source) and US (North Carolina and Iowa State Universities) and received experimental support from the company Ionix Advanced Technologies Ltd. Aspects of the work were funded via the EPSRC grants (EP/L017563/1- Substitution and Sustainability in Functional Materials and Devices, EP/N010493/1- Synthesizing 3D Metamaterials for RF, Microwave and THz Applications), NSF ( DMR-1409399) and Diamond (EE19590-1).
