Article Ferroelectric to Relaxor Crossover in Zr-Doped BaTiO3-Based Ceramics and Its Consequences for the Electrocaloric Effect(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2025) Akkasoglu, Oguz; Karakaya, Merve; Novak, Nikola; Fulanovic, Lovro; Adem, UmutNa0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (NBT)-substituted BaTiO3 (BT)-rich solid solutions demonstrate significant electrocaloric effects owing to the first-order nature of their ferroelectric phase transition. However, their narrow phase transition range and relatively high transition temperature limit their suitability for electrocaloric cooling applications. To address these issues, we have investigated the impact of Zr-substitution (0-5 mol%) at the B-site on the phase transition behaviour of 0.7BT-0.3NBT solid solution. Our findings indicate that Zr-substitution strongly decreases the tetragonality and the Curie temperature of the samples. All samples exhibit relaxor-like characteristics, following the Vogel-Fulcher approach. However, at low Zr doping (0-3 mol%), a spontaneous transition into the ferroelectric phase is also observed on cooling from high temperatures. At higher Zr doping (4-5 mol%), the transition into the ferroelectric phase disappears and the sample presents canonical relaxor behaviour. The samples with canonical relaxor behaviour (4-5 mol% Zr) feature wider temperature ranges where a significant electrocaloric response is sustained, which yielded a large Tspan of similar to 45 degrees C for the 4% Zr-doped sample where a Delta T value of 0.77 K was maintained.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Stabilization of the First-Order Phase Transition Character and Enhancement of the Electrocaloric Effect by Na<sub>0.5</Sub>bi<sub>0.5< Substitution in Batio<sub>3</Sub> Ceramics(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2024) Karakaya, Merve; Gurbuz, Irem; Fulanovic, Lovro; Adem, UmutThe electrocaloric properties of BaTiO3-based Pb-free ferroelectric materials are widely investigated. One approach to achieving a large electrocaloric response is making use of the substantial polarization change associated with the first-order phase transition at the Curie temperature. To make use of this approach, we have investigated the electrocaloric response of (1 - x)BaTiO3-xNa0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (BT-NBT) ceramics for x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.20 and 0.30. For this BT-rich part of the solid solution, it is established that increasing the NBT content increases the tetragonality of the BaTiO3. We show that this increase in tetragonality with NBT substitution helps to maintain the first-order nature of the phase transition in BaTiO3 and correspondingly a large electrocaloric response, despite the simultaneous enhancement of relaxor ferroelectric character with the NBT substitution. A significantly larger effective electrocaloric temperature change (Delta Teff) of 1.65 K was obtained for the x = 0.20 sample under 40 kV cm-1, using the direct measurement of the electrocaloric effect, which is in reasonable agreement with the indirect measurements.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 2Electrocaloric Behaviour of Tape Cast and Grain Oriented Nbt-Kbt Ceramics(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2024) Unal, Muhammet Ali; Karakaya, Merve; Irmak, Tugce; Yildirim-Ozarslan, Gokce; Avci, A. Murat; Fulanovic, Lovro; Adem, UmutWe have investigated the effects of grain orientation and tape casting process on the electrocaloric properties of 0.82Na(0.5)Bi(0.5)TiO(3)-0.18 K0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (0.82NBT-0.18KBT) ceramics at the Morphotropic Phase Boundary (MPB), using direct and indirect measurements. We observe a larger electrocaloric response for the template-free ceramics compared to 7 and 10 wt% template containing ones, suggesting that grain orientation along rhombohedral < 100 > does not improve the electrocaloric response. Indirect measurements yielded a large adiabatic temperature change of around 3 K under an electric field of 50 kV/cm, which is significantly higher than 0.9 K reached at a lower electric field of 40 kV/cm using the direct measurement.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 2Electrocaloric Behaviour of Tape Cast and Grain Oriented Nbt-Kbt Ceramics(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2024) Unal, Muhammet Ali; Karakaya, Merve; Irmak, Tugce; Yildirim-Ozarslan, Gokce; Avci, A.

Saturated hysteresis loops and normal ferroelectric behaviour of the copolymer-based nanocomposites-as opposed to the relaxor ferroelectric nature of the terpolymer-based ones-allow the utilization of the indirect method to estimate the electrocaloric properties. Both the dielectric constant and electrocaloric temperature change (AT) increases as the particle content increases. Maximum adiabatic temperature change was obtained as 6.96 K under 900 kV/cm for the 10 vol % BCST containing polymer composite around the Curie temperature of the copolymer (70 degrees C). This relatively large electrocaloric strength is slightly lower than those obtained for terpolymer-based nanocomposites.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 21Data-Driven Computational Prediction and Experimental Realization of Exotic Perovskite-Related Polar Magnets(Nature Publishing Group, 2020) Han, Yifeng; Wu, Meixia; Gui, Churen; Zhu, Chuanhui; Sun, Zhongxiong; Zhao, Mei-Huan; Adem, Umut; Li, Man-RongRational design of technologically important exotic perovskites is hampered by the insufficient geometrical descriptors and costly and extremely high-pressure synthesis, while the big-data driven compositional identification and precise prediction entangles full understanding of the possible polymorphs and complicated multidimensional calculations of the chemical and thermodynamic parameter space. Here we present a rapid systematic data-mining-driven approach to design exotic perovskites in a high-throughput and discovery speed of the A(2)BB'O-6 family as exemplified in A(3)TeO(6). The magnetoelectric polar magnet Co3TeO6, which is theoretically recognized and experimentally realized at 5 GPa from the six possible polymorphs, undergoes two magnetic transitions at 24 and 58 K and exhibits helical spin structure accompanied by magnetoelastic and magnetoelectric coupling. We expect the applied approach will accelerate the systematic and rapid discovery of new exotic perovskites in a high-throughput manner and can be extended to arbitrary applications in other families.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 13Predicted Polymorph Manipulation in an Exotic Double Perovskite Oxide(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019) Su, He-Ping; Li, Shu-Fang; Han, Yifeng; Wu, Mei-Xia; Gui, Churen; Chang, Yanfen; Li, Man-Rong; Adem, UmutPredicted polymorph manipulation offers a cutting-edge route to design function-oriented materials in an exotic double perovskite-related oxide A(2)BB ' O-6 with small A-site cations. Herein, first-principles density functional theory calculations in light of the equation of state for solid, for the first time, was used to predict the Mg3TeO6 (R3)-to-perovskite (P2(1)/n) type phase transition in Mn3TeO6 at around 5 GPa, regardless of the deployment of magnetic interactions. The high-pressure synthesis and synchrotron diffraction crystal structure analysis corroborated experimentally the polymorph variation in Mn22+Mn2+Te6+O6, which was accompanied by a 13 K increase in the antiferromagnetic ordering temperature (37 K) in the high-pressure perovskite polymorph compared to that of the ambient-pressure R3 phase (24 K). The magnetodielectric coupling remains up to 50 K with the maximum being around the magnetic ordering temperature in the perovskite Mn3TeO6. Thus, the predicted polymorph manipulation here offers the possibility of discovering accelerated materials by inverse design in exotic perovskite oxides.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 17Electrical Characteristics of Low Temperature Densified Barium Titanate(Elsevier, 2020) Karacasulu, Levent; Tokkan, Melike; Bortolotti, Mauro; Ischia, Gloria; Adem, Umut; Ahmetoğlu, Çekdar VakıfA low temperature densification technique, i.e. reactive hydrothermal liquid-phase densification (rHLPD) was followed to obtain highly dense BaTiO3 components at temperatures <= 240 degrees C. The formed ceramics were characterized concerning not only the structural features but also the electrical properties. The increase of both reaction time and temperature resulted in enhanced densification of BaTiO3 components reaching about 90% of theoretical density. The presence of the tetragonal BaTiO3 was demonstrated by both XRD and TEM analysis. Despite the low reaction temperatures, the samples showed promising dielectric, ferroelectric and piezoelectric functionality without additional annealing. A broad dielectric peak was observed around 135 degrees C at the Curie temperature; saturated hysteresis loops and corresponding butterfly-shaped strain-electric field loops were obtained. BaTiO3 sample subjected to hydrothermal reaction at 240 degrees C for 72 h yielded a piezoelectric coefficient of 84 pC/N.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Electrocaloric Effect of Alkali Co-Substituted Sr0.6ba0.4nb2o6 Ceramics(Elsevier Ltd., 2020) Kurnia, Arif; Emriadi; Mufti, Nandang; Zulhadjri; Adem, UmutWe have investigated the electrocaloric properties of K+ and Na+ co-substituted Sr0.6Ba0.4Nb2O6 (SBN) ceramics using the indirect method. Tetragonal tungsten bronze (K0.5Na0.5)2x(Sr0.6Ba0.4)5-xNb10O30 (KNSBN) with x = 0.24 was synthesized using dual-step sintering. Despite the low amount, K+ and Na+ co-substitution resulted in normal ferroelectric behaviour, showing no significant shift in the dielectric maximum temperature of 111 °C with increasing frequency. Maximum electrocaloric temperature change (?T) of 0.3 K was observed at an electric field of 30 kV/cm (?E) yielding the largest electrocaloric responsivity (?T/?E) among SBN based ceramics. This relatively large value is in agreement with the larger pyroelectric coefficient of KNSBN compared to SBN based ceramics. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 16Electrocaloric Properties of Ba0. 8sr0. 2ti1-Xzrxo3 (0? X? 0.1) System: the Balance Between the Nature of the Phase Transition and Phase Coexistence(Elsevier Ltd., 2020) Şanlı, Keriman; Adem, UmutWe investigate the electrocaloric effect of Ba0.8Sr0.2Ti1-xZrxO3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.1) system by comparing the electrocaloric temperature change (ΔT) of different compositions belonging to the different regions of the phase diagram. We show that as the amount of Zr increases, electrocaloric temperature change initially decreases as the phase transition gets diffuse then increases again as the composition of the samples are located closer to the critical point where different ferroelectric phases coexist. Since the critical point is reached at relatively low Zr substitution levels (i.e. around x = 0.07), the phase transition doesn't get too diffuse and thefore the compositions between x = 0 and x = 0.10 (which contains higher Zr than the critical point composition) have comparable ΔT values. Electrocaloric efficiency of these compositions (x = 0.03, 0.05 and 0.07) is around 0.20 K mm/kV at 20 kV/cm. We discuss the results in terms of the balance between the nature of the phase transition and proximity to the critical point, based on the phase diagram.
