“…Attracted by their ultra-fast charging–discharging characteristics combined with their high-power density, the industrial and research communities focus their efforts on chapping environmentally friendly materials able to meet the needs of modern technology [ 12 ]. Antiferroelectric materials are best suited for energy storage because they have high saturation polarization, low residual polarization, and low dielectric losses [ 13 , 14 ]. Unfortunately, most of these materials are lead-based, which is toxic and harmful to human health and the environment [ 15 ].…”

Rare earth element-doped Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3–BaTiO3 (BNT–BT–RE) polycrystalline thin films were processed on a platinized substrate by chemical solution deposition. The microstructure, dielectric, and ferroelectric properties were investigated for all prepared films. It was found that the incorporation of rare earth elements into the BNT–BT matrix increases both the dielectric constant and the breakdown strength while maintaining low dielectric losses, leading to an enhancement of the energy storage density to Wrec = 12 and 16 J/cm3 under an effective field of E = 2500 kV/cm, for Nd- and Dy-based films, respectively. The optical properties of films containing the lanthanide element were investigated and the obtained results bear interest for luminescence applications. The simultaneous appearance of ferroelectric and optical properties in the system under investigation is very promising for advanced optoelectronic devices.

“…The Monte Carlo simulation has been an effective method to model the magnetic properties of ferromagnetic layers such as antiferromagnetic Fe/Cr layers (Masrour et al, 2014), multilayered magnetic structures with giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect (Prudnikov et al, 2016), fcc Ni c Fe 1−c alloy (Taylor & Gyorffy, 1992), and Layered Ising Nanocube Fe/Co/Fe (Kadiri et al, 2022). The method has also been used for investigating the ferroelectric properties of PZT material (Tamerd et al, 2020;Cornelissen et al, 2019;Wei et al, 2021). However, few reports regarding Monte Carlo simulation for ferromagnetic (FM) and ferroelectric (FE) heterostructured nanocomposites exist.…”

In this work, we have studied the electric field-induced spin switching in the PZT/NiFe/CoFe nanostructured composites by sputtering ferromagnetic layers on a horizontal polarized piezoelectric PZT substrate. The electric field-induced change in the magnetization orientation was investigated systematically using a vibrating sample magnetometer and analytical simulations. The results revealed that electric field applications could indirectly control the magnetic spin orientations. Moreover, the magnetization change depends not only on the electric field but also on the direction of the electric field applying against the magnetic field. The images of magnetic moment orientations under various electric field applications are modeled by the Monte Carlo and NMAG simulations. In particular, a critical electric field of Ecr ≈ 300 kV/cm, which makes a 90o spin switching, was determined. These results are proposed to offer an opportunity for random access memory applications.

“…Previous studies have shown that Pb-containing dielectric capacitors exhibit higher W rec and η as well as faster charge and discharge rates than lead-free dielectric capacitors. , However, most research on Pb-containing materials has focused on PbZrO 3 and PbTiO 3 antiferroelectric materials. − PbHfO 3 is an antiferroelectric nanofilm with a crystal structure similar to that of PbZrO 3 . Early reports on this material focused on its electric domains, structures, − and ceramics. − For example, (Pb, La)(Hf, Sn)O 3 ceramics ( W rec = 7.6 J/cm 3 and η = 94%) were developed .…”

Antiferroelectric materials are widely used in industry owing to their outstanding energy storage properties, excellent fatigue resistance, and satisfactory stability. In this study, Pb 1−3x/2 La x HfO 3 (abbreviated as PLH-x) antiferroelectric nanofilms were fabricated using the sol−gel method, and their microstructure, antiferroelectric, and energy storage properties were investigated. The PLH-x films exhibited an orthogonal perovskite structure and good crystallinity. La doping altered the long-range ordering of the film's lattice structure, generating higher breakdown field strengths and finer hysteresis lines. The PLH-0.01 film showed the best energy storage performance with a recoverable energy density (W rec ) of 26.74 J/cm 3 and an energy storage efficiency (η) of 68.35%. After 10 8 test cycles, W rec and η decreased by only 3.6 and 2.3%, respectively, demonstrating the outstanding fatigue resistance and stability of the PLH-0.01 film. Moreover, the PLH-0.01 film exhibited good temperature stability and excellent frequency stability. Thus, the energy storage and fatigue characteristics of PLH-x films were considerably improved through La doping. These remarkable improvements confirm the potential of using the PLH-x films for preparing dielectric capacitors.
