Towards novel promising perovskite-type ferroelectric materials: high-pressure synthesis of rubidium niobate - EurekAlert

<p><strong>Researchers from the Shibaura Institute of Technology have pioneered a breakthrough in ferroelectric material development. They&#39;ve engineered a novel displacement-type ferroelectric material boasting remarkable dielectric properties. Their achievement includes the successful synthesis of rubidium niobate (RbNbO₃), a compound previously deemed challenging to produce under pressures exceeding 40,000 atmospheres. Additionally, they characterized how polarization changes across a wide temperature range during phase transitions. This breakthrough can lead to new design guidelines for ferroelectric materials.</strong></p>
