Tunable phase structure in NaNbO 3 ceramics by grain-size effect, electric field and heat treatment

Large polarization and strain change during antiferroelectric - ferroelectric phase transition under electric field is the foundation for realizing excellent electrical properties in antiferroelectric ceramics, therefore, the adjustment of antiferroelectricity and clarification of the corresponding mechanism is the foundation for controlling electrical properties. NaNbO3 is the most complex perovskite system showing multiple antiferroelectric phases in a wide temperature range, in which the antiferroelectricity shows obvious instability with changing external and internal conditions, namely the antiferroelectric phase can be adjusted by grain-size effect, electric field and heat treatment. According to the systematical study in terms of the Rietveld refinement of synchrotron XRD and Raman, NaNbO3 exhibits a ferrielectric P21ma structure at room temperature, the ferroelectric component of which increases with decreasing grain size. Two antiferroelectric tetragonal phases exist around Curie temperature TC before the entrance of antiferroelectric R phase zone, while an antiferroelectric monoclinic phase, which can be maintained to room temperature by annealing treatment, acts as the bridge for the depolarization of the poled NaNbO3 with ferroelectric Q phase. A detailed phase diagram mainly focused on the antiferroelectric phase zones of NaNbO3 is plotted, which gives a clear understanding about the polymorphic phase transitions under different conditions. Finally, the results concluded in this work would give a clear guidance for designing high-performance NaNbO3-based lead-free ceramics from the point of structure.

Deterministic Fabrication of Large-Area, High-Crystallinity Oxide Moiré Superlattices

Oxide twistronics extends moiré engineering beyond van der Waals materials, offering a promising platform for accessing emergent interfacial phenomena arising from the strong coupling of lattice, charge, and orbital degrees of freedom in complex oxides. However, deterministic fabrication of high-crystallinity oxide moiré superlattices over large lateral dimensions remains challenging due to the three-dimensional bonding network of oxides. Here, we demonstrate a scalable, generalized fabrication strategy that enables the formation of high-crystallinity oxide moiré superlattices with clean, chemically bonded interfaces and precisely controlled twist angles down to nominal values of 0.1°, achieving subdegree twist-angle accuracy across large contiguous lateral dimensions approaching the millimeter scale. Using NaNbO3 as a model system, we show that the resulting interlayer coupling drives pronounced structural reconstruction that modifies both the phase structure and ferroelectric domain configuration. Synchrotron-based X-ray 3D reciprocal space mapping reveals the emergence of a single-phase state in twisted bilayers, in contrast to the mixed-phase structure observed in single-layer membranes prior to twist assembly. The structural signatures are further consistent with gradual lattice rotation distributed along the thickness direction that may accommodate interfacial shear strain, distinct from reconstruction observed in van der Waals moiré systems which primarily occurs through in-plane stacking rearrangement. This collective lattice response is correlated with twist-dependent nanoscale electromechanical modulations observed by piezoresponse force microscopy. These results establish a scalable materials platform for oxide twistronics and support the implementation of twist-engineered functionalities in practical, macroscale device architectures.
