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 ...
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 ...
We have designed and developed a new class of optical fiber components based on thin-film coatings and fiber gratings. In our design, the function of the thin-film fiber coating is to provide an electrical means to regulate the optical response of the fibe ...
The change in permittivity of bismuth zinc niobate (BZN) films with the cubic pyrochlore structure under an applied electric field was measured as a function of temperature. Dielectric measurements were performed using parallel-plate capacitor structures w ...
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 ...
We have experimentally studied polarization properties of the two-dimensional coupled photonic crystal microcavity arrays and observed a strong polarization dependence of the transmission and reflection of light from the structures-effects that can be empl ...
The origin of a recently reported peculiar phenomenon-polarization reversal against the applied electric field in ferroelectric thin films [M. Aplanalp and P. Gunter, Ferroelectrics 258, 3 (2001), T. Morita and Y. Cho, Appl. Phys. Lett. 84, 257 (2004)]-has ...
The present study aims at a better understanding of the high piezoelectric properties encountered in lead-based ferroelectrics by focusing on the extrinsic contributions to the response. The main characteristics of these materials are the highly nonlinear ...
(Al,Ga)N/GaN quantum wells have been studied by temperature-dependent luminescence and reflectivity. The samples were grown by molecular beam epitaxy on (0001) sapphire substrates, and well widths were varied from 3 to 15 monolayers (ML's) with a 2-ML incr ...
The orientation dependence of the longitudinal piezoelectric coefficient, d(33)(*), is investigated as a function of temperature in BaTiO3 and PbTiO3 crystals using the Landau-Ginsburg-Devonshire theory. We show that a presence of the ferroelectric-ferroel ...
