Leveraging the computing power of HPC systems SuperMUC and SuperMUC-NG hosted at LRZ, researchers of the Munich University of Applied Sciences investigated the piezoelectric properties of ferroelectric hafnia and zirconia, which represent a novel material class based on the fluorite crystal structure. If properly doped, such thin films show large strain effects in field induced phase transitions. A large number of doped supercells were investigated with density functional theory to find the most appropriate dopants.
