Mechanically Imprinting Atoms in Ferroelectric Ceramic

Electroceramics such as capacitors are essential components in electronic devices. Intervening in their crystalline structure can change specific properties. Thus, for instance, chemical methods can be used to replace individual atoms in the crystal lattice with others. A stable shape can be created by replacing a whole series of atoms rather than just a single one. An international team of researchers under the leadership of the TU Darmstadt has, for the first time, succeeded in inserting a dislocation into a ferroelectric ceramic by mechanically imprinting the atoms in the material – a procedure that hitherto has only ever been used in metals. The findings have been published in Science, the renowned journal.

The world market for electroceramics is in the region of 25 billion euros a year. These very small components are often not even perceived in daily life. A smartphone alone contains 600 capacitors, 3 trillion – that’s 3000 billion – of which are manufactured every year. The way many electroceramics function is not based on current flow through the material, but on small charge dislocations, called polarisation, over fractions of an atomic diameter. About a quarter of the electroceramics produced in the world link this polarisation to an extension of the material, which in turn can be adjusted to the accuracy of an atomic diameter. Only then can ever-smaller computer components and microrobots be structured.
