“…In essence, piezoelectricity stems from the ability of ferroelectrics to form ferroelectric domains, and its value is closely related to the ferroelectric domain spatial orientation. [25] It is verified that engineered domain configuration is an effective means to improve the piezoelectric activity of ferroelectric crystals. [26] Ferroelectric domain walls and their mobility play essential roles in characterizing the origin of macroscopic properties of the material and the piezoelectric enhancement in ferroelectrics can be achieved by the increase of the domain wall density.…”

requirements of functionality and stabilization at high-temperature conditions. [5][6][7] Ferroelectric ceramics with the perovskite structure ABO 3 , such as BaTiO 3 , Pb(Zr,Ti)O 3 , and Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 ) O 3 -PbTiO 3 , usually possess high piezoelectric constants d 33 (100-1500 pC N −1 ), but their Curie temperature T c is low (50-400 °C). [8,9] Thus, the usage range of the system is restricted to below 300 °C. Bismuth layer-structured ferroelectrics (BLSFs) have the general chemical formula (Bi 2 O 2 ) 2+ (A m-1 B m O 3m+1 ) 2− , and their structure is that (A m-1 B m O 3m+1 ) 2− perovskite layers are sandwiched between (Bi 2 O 2 ) 2+ fluorite-like layers along the c-axis. [10] Consequently, BLSFs piezoelectrics possess high Curie temperature T c (500-1000 °C), high mechanical quality factors, and low aging rates, which make them promising candidates for the hightemperature electronic industry. [11][12][13] Bismuth titanate, Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 (BIT), is always regarded as an excellent candidate for high-temperature electromechanical systems owing to its high Curie temperature (T c is of 675 °C) as well as outbound spontaneous polarization (P s is of 50 µC cm −2 along the a-axis). [14][15][16] However, the piezoelectricity of BIT ceramics is poor (only 6-8 pC N −1 ) due to its strong anisotropic polarization, a large coercive field, and high leakage current. Extensive research has been made to acquire high-performance BITbased ceramics, including chemical modification and grain orientation techniques. [17][18][19][20][21][22][23] For example, a high d 33 of 21 pC N −1 and T c of 655 °C, as well as a lower dielectric loss of 0.3%, High-temperature piezoelectric materials are widely needed in electromechanical sensors, actuators, and transducers that are exposed to high-temperature conditions. Bismuth layer-structured bismuth titanate (Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 , BIT) ferroelectrics have a high Curie temperature of 675 °C but suffer from poor electrical properties, especially the piezoelectricity. Here, a giant piezoelectric coefficient d 33 of 40.2 pC N −1 is obtained in the Bi 3.97 Ce 0.03 Ti 2.98 (WNb) 0.01 O 12 ceramics with a high Curie temperature of 657 °C, the highest value reported to date in BIT-based piezoceramics. Electrical property and microstructural analysis reveal that the high piezoelectricity benefits from the preferential orientation of ferroelectric domains, the irreversibility of ferroelectric domain reorientation, and the high density of ferroelectric domain walls. Besides, excellent thermal stability of piezoelectric constant (d 33 = 36.7 pC N −1 at 500 °C, <10% variations in the range of room temperature to 500 °C), high electrical resistivity (ρ > 10 7 Ω cm at 500 °C), and low loss (tanδ < 1.5% at 500 °C) are also obtained in the Bi 3.97 Ce 0.03 Ti 2.98 (WNb) 0.01 O 12 ceramics. This work not only penetrates the origins of outstanding piezoelectricity of BITbased ceramics but also offers prospects for brand-new tactics to exploit high-performance high-temperature piezoceramics.

“…Thirdly, they studied a real 3D nonlinear volume hologram of high quality [121], where a vortex second harmonic with zero-intensity in the center was generated effectively at the resonance frequency. Fourthly, they also achieved 2D and 3D NPCs of hexagonal patterns in single ferroelectric-domain CBN crystals [122]. In this work, multiple-ferroelectric-domain CBNs were made into single-ferroelectric-domain crystals before patterns were inscribed.…”

Direct femtosecond laser writing or inscription is a useful technique, and it has been 1 employed to engineer various materials in many applications including nonlinear photonic crystals, 2 which are of periodically patterned second-order nonlinearity to get and control the coherent light at 3 new frequencies. By manipulation of second-order nonlinearity, either erased or poled, quasi-phase 4 matching has been achieved in several crystals, especially three-dimensional nonlinear photonic 5 crystals have been originally proposed and proved to be truly three-dimensional. Here we shortly 6 review on the recent advances in the research field of nonlinear photonic crystals inscribed by 7 femtosecond laser. We also discuss some phenomena that not understood yet and the future possible research topics in this field.

“…Such a modification can be periodically introduced to realize spatial modulation of the second-order nonlinear coefficient χ ð2Þ , enabling quasi-phasematching (QPM) structures, 119 also known as nonlinear photonic crystals (NPC). 120 Thereby, the researchers have fabricated 3D NPCs by selectively erasing the nonlinear coefficients of a LiNbO 3 crystal. 121 The recently developed 3D NPCs present efficient generations of second-harmonic vortex and Hermite-Gaussian beams, showing the potential for nonlinear beamshaping devices 6 and nonlinear volume holography 122,123 in comparison to the two-dimensional (2D) case.…”
