Popis: In this paper we present the effective strategy of Fe3+ and Li+ co-doping to enhance the electrostrain of ZnO thin films. Zn0.88(Fe0.06Li0.06)O thin film exhibits an excellent d33* value of 415 pm/V and large linear electrostrain of 0.68% after thermal-electric treatment. Both the X-ray diffraction and first principle calculation results have indicated that the Fe3+ and Li+ ions are inclined to adopt a preferential alignment along the edges approximately parallel to [001] direction in the zinc-oxygen tetrahedron and constitute a defect dipole (ionic pairs). It is considered that the local lattice distortion and the electric field-triggered polarization extension and rotation generated by preferential distributed Fe3+-Li+ionic pairs are responsible for the outstanding piezoelectric properties and large linear electrostrain.
