With outstanding ferroelectric properties, relaxor ferroelectric materials are ideal for many electromechanical devices, including sensors, actuators, and transducers. They can also be used for non-volatile memories and energy harvest. The ferroelectric properties of relaxor ferroelectric materials can be manipulated via varying the crystal structures and microstructures of the materials. This project aims to apply state-of-the-art ex-situ and in-situ transmission electron microscopy techniques to explore elemental doping effects on the crystal structure, microstructure and electromechanical properties of ferroelectric materials. The PhD student will be supervised by Prof. Xiaozhou Liao together with Prof. Shujun Zhang of the University of Wollongong and Assistant Prof. Zibin Chen of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
