- Summary:
- In this study, we used the phase-field model to study the defect transport, resistance degradation behavior, current-voltage characteristics and piezoelectric responses in a number of representative dielectric and ferroelectric oxides including SrTiO3, BaTiO3, and Pb(Zr1-xTix)O3. The effects of electric field strength, domain orientations, domain structures as well as grain boundaries on the distribution and evolution of ionic/electronic space charges and leakage currents were systematically investigated. We developed the electrochemical transport model to study the ionic/electronic space charge profiles and local electric potential distribution at equilibrium state and their evolutions under applied biases in a sandwiched Ni aTiO3
