Is antiferroelectricity a resurgence in energy-efficient applications?

As a close relative of ferroelectricity, antiferroelectricity has received a recent resurgence of interest driven by technological aspirations in energy-efficient applications, such as energy storage capacitors, solid-state cooling devices, explosive energy conversion, and displacement transducers.

Can antiferroelectric materials store energy in pulsed-power technologies?

The polarization response of antiferroelectrics to electric fields is such that the materials can store large energy densities, which makes them promising candidates for energy storage applications in pulsed-power technologies. However, relatively few materials of this kind are known.

What are the applications of ferroelectric materials?

To data, ferroelectric (FE) materials have found a plethora of applications in FE random access memory (FeRAM) , energy storage capacitors , FE tunneling junctions (FTJs) , medical ultrasonic imaging transducers , ultrasonic motors , electromechanical sensors , etc.

Why is antiferroelectric material important?

Antiferroelectric material has received a lot of attention over the last years due to its large longitudinal strain (up to 0.9%) and short response time (1−2 μs) [23, 24]. Past investigations on AFEs have concentrated on polycrystalline materials, but their applications are limited by the crystallographic isotropy .

What are the functional properties of antiferroelectrics?

These technologies exploit the field-induced phase transition between the antipolar AFE ground state and a low-lying FE polar state; the most well-studied functional properties of antiferroelectrics are electric polarization, electric-field-induced strain, and dielectric properties.
