A ferroelectric cathode is employed in a cyclotron-resonance maser (CRM). The CRM oscillator device operates at similar to 7 GHz, near the cutoff frequency of a hollow cylindrical cavity. The cathode is made of a PLZT 12/65/35 ceramic with high-dielectric ...
The twin textures of two differently synthesized types of YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7- delta / single crystals, differing strongly in their critical current density (j/sub c/) levels, have been investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscop ...
A phenomenological thermodynamic theory of ferroelectric thin films epitaxially grown on cubic substrates is developed using a new form of the Gibbs function, which corresponds to the actual mechanical boundary conditions of the problem. It is found that t ...
We report on the ab-plane optical reflectance measurements of single crystals of Y-doped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta and Pr-doped YBa2Cu3O7-delta over a wide frequency range from 80 to 40 000 cm(-1) (10 meV-5 eV) and at temperatures between 20 and :300 K. Y and Pr ...
Boron doped diamond films were deposited on Ti substrates by CVD. Raman spectroscopy reveals small amts. of nondiamond carbon. According to SEM and XRD, the diamond films are polycryst. with preferential {112} crystallite orientation. Electrochem. measurem ...
We report transport measurements on single crystals of Sr2RuO4-δ, grown by the flux technique. The temperature dependence of the Hall coefficient is similar to the one measured in cuprates, and the linear resistivity persists up to ~1000 K, while the super ...
The weak-field dielectric properties of ordered, disordered, and lead-deficient disordered Pb(Sc0.5Ta0.5)O-3 (PST) ceramics (PST-O, PST-D, and PST-DV, respectively) were investigated under various de-bias conditions. The de-bias field influences the parael ...
A phenomenological thermodynamic theory of ferroelectric thin films epitaxially grow on cubic substrates is developed using a new form of the thermodynamic potential. which corresponds to the ac tual mechanical boundary conditions of the problem, For singl ...
Fatigue phenomena occurring in Pb(ZrxTi1-x)O-3 ferroelectric thin-film capacitors (FECAP) with Pt electrodes are studied by means of conduction measurements in the cold-field-emission (tunneling) regime. We have determined that conduction in virgin FECAPs ...
The electronic ground state of a periodic crystalline solid is usually described in terms of extended Bloch orbitals; localized Wannier functions can alternatively be used. These two representations are connected by families of unitary transformations, car ...
