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: 3Novel Injectable Calcium-Magnesium Phosphate Cement-Based Composites With Piezoelectric Properties: Advancements in Bone Regeneration Applications(Springer, 2024) Sakar, Neslihan; Albayrak, Aylin Ziylan; Karakaya, Merve; Adem, Umut; Tansel, TunayDesigning a novel injectable bone cement is an important approach to the success of bone healing in minimally invasive surgeries. As natural bone has a piezoelectric property, which is crucial in bone regeneration, this study focused on the development of a novel injectable composite bone cement with piezoelectric properties. For the composite composition, calcium and zirconium doped barium titanate (BCZT) was used for its piezoelectric property, while calcium phosphate and magnesium phosphate cement (CMPC) were preferred for its bone-like properties. In this framework, first BCZT, CMPC, and their composites were prepared, and their phase structures, particle size distributions, and piezoelectric and dielectric properties were investigated. Then, the composite bone cements were prepared by mixing CMPC with BCZT in three different ratios (20%, 30%, and 40%). Next, polysorbate 80 solution was added to the cement mixtures to prepare the injectable pastes. Finally, injectability, setting time, and compressive strength of the composites were assessed. As a result, the composite bone cement containing 30% BCZT has the potential to be used as an injectable bone cement in invasive orthopedic surgery.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.

Both Mn precursors were substituted to the Ti-site as 1 mol% and two different sintering temperatures of 1325 and 1400 degrees C were used to study the effect of grain size. We deduced that slightly higher amounts of Mn2+ can be incorporated into the perovskite structure when MnO2 is used as the precursor, by using X-ray diffraction and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Mn-doped samples sintered at 1325 degrees C age faster than those sintered at 1400 degrees C. Aging caused a decrease in the electrocaloric effect whereas Mn-doping increased it. This study shows that Mn precursor used for the acceptor doping affects the amount of Mn incorporated into the structure and therefore electrical properties of the resulting ceramics.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Development of Textured Lead-Free Nbt-Based Piezoelectric Materials in a Matrix, Synthesized by an Alternative Route, Via Templated Grain Growth(Springer, 2023) Çoban Tetik, Hatice Şule; Suvacı, Ender; Avcı, A. Murat; Adem, Umut; Karakaya, MerveIn this study, (1−x)(K0.5Bi0.5TiO3-BaTiO3)−xNa0.5Bi0.5TiO3 KBT:BT = 2:1 where x = 0.8 (KBT-BT-NBT) (001) textured lead-free piezoelectric ceramics were fabricated using BT template by templated grain growth with tape casting. Unlike the commonly used matrix preparation method, which is the calcination of all raw materials in one step, the matrix phase was prepared in a different way by first preparing KBT, BT and NBT powders separately and then by calcining the mixtures of these powders, so that effect of the matrix, synthesized by this alternative route, on texture development properties was evaluated. In addition, the effect of BT template content on the grain orientation with different sintering temperature and time, structure evolution, phase stability and piezoelectric properties were investigated to assess the materials’ actuating performance. The highest Lotgering factor of 81% was achieved for the textured ceramics with 10 wt% BT templates sintered at 1150 °C for 48 h. Compared to the one-step synthesis method, similar Lotgering factor values were obtained at lower sintering temperatures in the matrix, synthesized by the alternative 2-step method. The highest piezoelectric constant, remnant polarization, strain value and depolarization temperature were also obtained from the same sample, as ~ 190 pC/N, 30 kV/cm, 25% at 50 kV/cm and ~ 165 °C, respectively. The results show that the textured, lead free K0.5Bi0.5TiO3-BaTiO3-Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (KBT-BT-NBT) ceramics that are developed by using the matrix, synthesized by the alternative 2-step method, can be very promising lead-free electroceramics for high performance actuator applications.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 11Enhanced Electrocaloric Effect of P(vdf-Trfe) Nanocomposites With Ca and Sn Co-Doped Batio3 Particles(Elsevier, 2023) Tokkan, Melike; Demir, Mustafa M.; Adem, UmutWe report on the enhancemenent of electrocaloric effect in solution cast polymer nanocomposites based on Poly (vinylidene fluoride-co-trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFE) 55-45] with Ca and Sn co-substituted BaTiO3 ceramic fillers (Ba0.94Ca0.06Ti0.925Sn0.075O3, BCST). 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: 11Citation - Scopus: 11Enhanced Room Temperature Energy Storage Density of Bi(li1/3ti2 Substituted Bi0.5na0.5tio3-Batio3 Ceramics(IOP Publishing, 2021) Karakaya, Merve; Adem, UmutFor high power electronics applications, relaxor ferroelectrics are promising materials due to their superior energy storage properties. In this study, we investigate the energy storage properties of novel lead free relaxor ferroelectric ceramics (1-x)(0.92Bi(0.5)Na(0.5)TiO(3)-0.08BaTiO(3))-xBi(Li1/3Ti2/3)O-3 (abbreviated as BNT-8BT-xBLT). BNT-8BT composition which is close to morphotropic phase boundary was chosen as the base due to its large maximum polarization (P-m) and higher ratio of weakly polar tetragonal phase which is expected to facilitate ergodic relaxor behavior and improve energy storage density. The substitution of BLT to the BNT-8BT strongly disrupts the correlations between the polar nanoregions and the transition from nonergodic to ergodic relaxor state occurs already at x = 0.02 BLT at room temperature. Largest energy density (W-rec) at 61 kV cm(-1) was obtained for x = 0.02 sample (0.656 J cm(-3)), followed by x = 0.03 (W-rec = 0.614 J cm(-3)) and x = 0.05 (W-rec= 0.559 J cm(-3)). The x = 0.02 sample keeps its energy storage density at high temperatures (i.e. W-rec= 0.88 J cm(-3,) eta = 97%, E-m= 65 kV cm(-1) at 125 degrees C), while larger electric field (up to 89 kV cm(-1)) could be applied to the x = 0.05 sample with the smallest grain size and energy density of 1.03 J cm(-3) was reached at room temperature. Energy storage density values of BLT substituted materials normalized per unit applied electric field are promising among BNT-based materials.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.
