Screen lead-free piezoelectrics & dielectrics

Lead-free electroceramics

Discover lead-free piezoelectrics, advanced dielectrics, and NTC thermistors to replace hazardous PZT and meet RoHS demands.

Europe's RoHS regulations demand lead-free alternatives. Classic solid-state screening is slow — SimuLingua targets >2M virtual compositions with physics-aware optimisation.

Target KPIs

  • >1M virtual candidates screened by M36, scaling to >2M by M48
  • d₃₃ > 400 pC/N validated experimentally
  • εᵣ > 1000 at breakdown strength > 300 kV/cm
  • NTC thermistor B-value > 10% above commercial baseline
  • >50% reduction in time-to-discovery vs traditional methods

Validation: WP13 (definition) → WP14 (in-silico screening) → WP15 (experimental validation). Reports published as D14.x and D15.x deliverables become public.
