Local mechanical properties of perovskite oxide ferroelectric materials

Author(s): Katarina Žiberna (Author), Andreja Benčan Golob (Supervisor), Hana Uršič Nemevšek (Co-Supervisor)

Year: 2025

Type: Doctoral dissertation

Ferroelectric materials have the ability to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy and vice versa, which makes them widely used as sensors, actuators, and ultrasonic transducers. While their electrical and electromechanical properties are well studied, mechanical properties like Young’s modulus (E) and hardness (H) remain known to a lesser extent. …

Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-based materials with mechanical-stress-dependent dielectric properties

Author(s): Jakob König (Author), Danilo Suvorov (Supervisor), Boštjan Jančar (Co-Supervisor)

Year: 2009

Type: Doctoral dissertation

The stress dependence of the electrical permittivity offers a convenient way of measuring pressure. This effect is suitable for static and quasi-static stress applications, where the conventional method based on the piezoelectric effect becomes inadequate. Although the principle of applying this effect for pressure sensing has been known for almost …
