Emergent electrical properties in metal-ceramic composites: a critical revue
Source abstract
Abstract
The revue presents the revival interest in metal-electroceramic composites (CerMets), for electromagnetic applications related to their metacomposite properties (colossal/near-zero/negative permittivity). The paper sets out to present and discuss the physical mechanisms that create metaproperties in such composites: (i) the field concentration in dielectric compositions, which generates an increased permittivity towards giant values at percolation, and (ii) when ferro/piezoelectrics are employed as dielectric matrices, the nanoscale interaction between the metallic inclusions and ferroelectric domain walls is spawning modifications of polarisation, ferroelectric loops, piezoelectric and tunability responses. Examples of properties in various types of CerMet materials are examined in relationship with their microstructures. For this kind of complex multi-material systems, multiscale theoretical and experimental methods are still needed to better comprehend the role of the microstructures on the macroscopic properties. Furthermore, in order to customize such meta-properties to desirable values for advanced electromagnetic applications, innovative techniques to produce desired composite combinations need be further developed.
