Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 (PZT) and Pb(Zr,Ti,Nb)O-3 (PNZT) thin films were grown on platinized silicon substrates by r.f. magnetron sputtering followed by a post-annealing treatment. The Niobium, Nb, concentration varied from 1 to 7 at.% by increment of 1 at.%. The eff ...
Strontium Bismuth Titanate is a very promising material for high temperature piezoelectric applications, its elevated ferroelectric phase transition (530°C), linear piezoelectric properties under low field and relatively low room temperature conductivity ( ...
The European Home Team is responsible for the design, the fabrication and the test of the Toroidal Field Model Coil (TFMC) of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), Within this task, three full size samples had to be fabricated by ind ...
Pb(Zr, Ti)O-3 (PZT) and Pb(Zr, Ti, Nb)O-3 (PNZT) thin films have been deposited on platinized silicon substrates by sputtering followed by a postannealing treatment. The Nb concentration in the films varied between 1 and 7 at. % with increments of 1 at. %. ...
The contribution of domain walls to the dielectric permittivity of ferroelectrics is customarily explained by the model of locally pinned walls. Here we analyze the complementary case and calculate wall contribution to permittivity of a sample in which 180 ...
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 ...
We present a technique for the computation of the Green's tensor in three-dimensional stratified media composed of an arbitrary number of layers with different permittivities and permeabilities (including metals with a complex permittivity). The practical ...
In this paper we report some of the most recent developments of silversheathed (Bi,Pb)2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10 (Bi-2223) tapes that are currently under analysis in view of the potential future applications of these conductors. Various attempts for improving the tape ...
A study of the complex permittivity in bismuth titanate was conducted to reveal the nature of an anomaly in the real part of the permittivity, which occurs below the Curie temperature. This anomaly is frequency dependent and is caused by a combination of t ...
Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O-3 thin films were prepared from modified alkoxide solution precursors and their dielectric and electromechanical characteristics were investigated. Preparation of the films is very sensitive to processing parameters. The influence of differ ...
