IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control [Cover]

Abstract

The cover highlights the relationship between structure, properties, and application through images from three papers in the Ferroelectric Special Issue.Representing structure, the top-left image is a schematic representation of BiFeO 3 , showing FeO 6 octahedra. For further reading, see the paper "Composition-Driven Structural Phase Transitions in Rare-Earth-Doped BiFeO 3 Ceramics: A Review" by Donna Arnold, on page 62 of this issue.Representing properties, the right image shows atomic force micrographs of Ti deposited to achieve an enhanced textured PZT film. For further reading, see the paper "Control of Crystallographic Texture and Surface Morphology of Pt/TiO 2 Templates for Enhanced PZT Thin Film Texture" by Austin J. Fox, Bill Drawl, Glen R. Fox, Brady J. Gibbons, and Susan Trolier-McKinstry, on page 56 of this issue.
