Physical model of retention and temperature-dependent polarization reversal in ferroelectric films

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev, Igor Stolichnov, Enrico Colla

The phenomenon of time-dependent polarization loss in poled ferroelectric capacitors, also known as retention, represents one of the most important reliability issues for ferroelectric nonvolatile memories. In a number of publications different ways to con ...

Microscopic aspects of the region-by-region polarization reversal kinetics of polycrystalline ferroelectric Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 films

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev, Igor Stolichnov, Enrico Colla, Lisa Malin

The region-by-region polarization switching in ferroelectric Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 thin films sandwiched between Pt electrodes has been directly observed using piezoelectric scanning probe microscopy. A resolution improved by one order-of-magnitude compared to the ...

Formation and thermal stability of quasi-amorphous thin films

Alexander Tagantsev

The thermal stability of amorphous ionic solids is usually attributed to kinetic considerations related to mass transport. However, there are a number of amorphous ionic solids, which have recently been described, whose unusual resistance to nucleation and ...

Glass valveless micropump using electromagnetic actuation

Martinus Gijs, Christophe Yamahata, Frédéric Lacharme

We present a valveless micropump in glass, which is magnetically actuated using the sinusoidal current of an external electromagnet. We employ a powder blasting microerosion process for microstructuring the glass substrates and fusion bonding for assembly ...

Kinetics of polarization reversal in ferroelectric films: role of domain nucleation and domain wall motion

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev, Igor Stolichnov, Enrico Colla

Understanding of polarization reversal mechanisms in ferroelectric films is essential for evaluation and prediction of the properties of ferroelectric devices including nonvolatile memories. The widely accepted approach based on the domain wall motion kine ...

Room-temperature ferroelectricity in strained SrTiO3

Alexander Tagantsev

Systems with a ferroelectric to paraelectric transition in the vicinity of room temperature are useful for devices. Adjusting the ferroelectric transition temperature (T-c) is traditionally accomplished by chemical substitution - as in BaxSr1-xTiO3, the ma ...

Properties of thick-film resistors on dielectric and metal substrates for piezoresistive sensors

Peter Ryser, Claudio Grimaldi, Thomas Maeder

In this paper, the resistive and piezoresistive properties of a commercial resistive composition (Du Pont 2041), often used for strain-gauge applications, are examined on several dielectric compositions, which themselves are deposited onto various ceramic ...

Investigation of electrical degradation effects in ferroelectric thin film based tunable microwave components

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev, Konstantin Astafiev

The impact of electrical stressing on the microwave performance of the SrTiO3 films deposited onto different substrates (MgO and LaAlO3) by pulsed laser deposition has been investigated. The most important characteristics of the tunable microwave component ...
