a, b Comparative display of breakdown paths and P-E loops for plain PZT and PM films, respectively. c Phase-field simulated local polarization distributions at various points in the P-E loop for the PM film, with arrows indicating the magnitude and directions of polarization at each site. The area shown is 18 nm × 18 nm. d Phase-field simulated energy density (top) and efficiency (down) of PM films as a function of PZT molar fractions at an electric field of 1 MV cm−1. e Schematic illustration of possible self-healing evolution modes for conventional single FE material (left panel) and dendritic-like FE/dielectric nanocomposites with a high density of phase boundaries (right panel).
