Lead-free Zr-doped ceria ceramics with low permittivity displaying giant electrostriction

Abstract Electrostrictors, materials developing mechanical strain proportional to the square of the applied electric field, present many advantages for mechanical actuation as they convert electrical energy into mechanical, but not vice versa. Both high relative permittivity and reliance on Pb as th...
