Electric field induced antiferroelectric-ferroelectric phase transition is a double-edged sword for energy storage properties, which not only offers a congenital superiority with substantial energy storage density but also poses significant challenges such as large polarization hysteresis and poor efficiency, deteriorating the operation and service life of capacitors. Here, entropy increase effect is utilized to simultaneously break the long-range antiferroelectric order and locally adjust the fourfold commensurate modulated polarization configuration, leading to a breakthrough in the trade-off between recoverable energy storge density (14.8 J cm) and efficiency (90.

Lead-based antiferroelectric (AFE) ceramics have the advantages of high power density, fast charge and discharge speed, and the electric-field-induced AFE-FE phase transition, making them one of the potential dielectric energy storage materials. However, the energy storage density still needs to be improved. In this work, (PbCa) (ZrSn)O (PCZS, = 0.

Charge-density waves (CDWs) are correlated states of matter, in which the electronic density is modulated periodically due to electronic and phononic interactions. Often, CDW phases coexist with other correlated states, such as superconductivity, spin-density waves, or Mott insulators. Controlling CDW phases may, therefore, enable the manipulation of the energy landscape of these interacting states.

We study dynamical localization in an ultracold atom confined in an optical lattice that is simultaneously shaken by two competing pulsatile modulations with different amplitudes, periods, and waveforms. The effects of finite-width time pulses, modulation waveforms, and commensurable and incommensurable driving periods are investigated. We describe a particularly complex scenario and conclude that dynamical localization can survive, or even increase, when a periodic modulation is replaced by a quasiperiodic one of equal amplitude.
