Recently, recycling energy from wasted heat with pyroelectric materials has received significant attention. However, pyroelectric energy harvesters generally suffer from a low energy efficiency due to the low rates of heat transfer. Here, we report h

Residual thermal stresses which develop during additive manufacturing processes are often a cause of unwanted component deformation and mechanical failure. We demonstrate that this impairment can in fact be exploited to enhance the design process for

Publikováno v: Integrated Ferroelectrics. 133:103-108

This work examines the modelling and potential formation of submicron ferroelectric pillars which are exploited as an active component of modern 1–3 piezocomposites. These structures are of interest in sensor and actuator technologies, and most not
