The domain nucleation and growth during polarization switching in Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 (PZT) ferroelectric thin film capacitors with Pt top (TE) and bottom electrodes (BE) were studied by means of atomic force microscopy (AFM). The experimental configuration used ...
The ac field dependence of dielectric and piezoelectric response of sol-gel derived Pb(Zr,Ti)O(3)thin films is presented. The nonlinear response of dielectric polarisation and piezoelectrically induced strain at sub-switching fields was studied in terms of ...
AlGaN/GaN quantum well (QW) structures were grown entirely by molecular-beam epitaxy on c-plane sapphire substrates. Reflection high-energy electron diffraction intensity oscillations, which testify a smooth growth front surface at the molecular monolayer ...
The evolution of switching polarization (P-r(s)) suppression, in Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 films, induced by two different electric treatments is addressed in terms of the nonlinear dielectric response. The ac electric field dependence of dielectric permittivity was co ...
The domain nucleation and growth during the switching process in ferroelectric PZT thin film capacitors was observed using atomic force microscope (AFM) technique combined with a lock-in amplifier. The measured phase difference between the tip vibration si ...
We calculate the one-electron Green's function of the two-dimensional (2D) attractive Hubbard model by coupling the electrons to pair fluctuations. The latter are approximated by homogeneous amplitude fluctuations and phase correlations corresponding to th ...
A novel experimental setup for injection-locking experiments is presented. The single-mode-fiber-based configuration allows one to precisely control the power and the polarization state of the light injected from the master laser into the slave laser cavit ...

Highly textured PZT(111), PZT(001/100) and random PZT films have been grown on Pt and RuO2 bottom electrodes by means of an in-situ, multimagnetron reactive sputtering process with three metal targets (Pb, Zr, Ti). The orientation was varied with the botto ...
We investigate the non-linear dielectric properties of PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3 (PMN) single crystals and present the following experimental evidence: (a) the absence of the anomaly in the temperature dependence of non-linear coefficients in the relationship between ...
A large area (50 cm(2)) particle counter working under vacuum (10(-7) mbar) has been developed at CERN and applied to measurements of particles released by several vacuum components like valves, gauges and ion pumps. This technique has also been applied to ...
