The operational range of electrostatic MEMS parallel plate actuators can be extended beyond pull-in in the presence of an intermediate dielectric layer, which has a significant effect on the behavior of such actuators. Here, we study the behavior of cantil ...
Hysteretic and nonlinear dielectric behaviour in ferroelectric ceramics has been of interest since 1950s, when these materials found application in various electronic devices. Presently, these phenomena concern with important areas of science, technology a ...
Strontium barium niobate (SrxBa1-xNb2O6, shortly SBN) is a solid solution system with tetragonal tungsten bronze crystal structure. It exhibits a ferroelectric phase with only one polar axis and a transition temperature depending on the Sr/Ba ratio. This t ...
The preparation and dielectric properties of potassium niobate tantalate (KTN) have been investigated with the aim of exploring the material's potential for ferroelectric tunable applications. The samples were prepared both by conventional sintering in air ...
The capacitance of monolayer-protected gold nanoclusters (MPCs), CMPC, in solution has been theoretically reconsidered from an electrostatic viewpoint, in which an MPC is considered as an isolated charged sphere within two dielectric layers, the intrinsic ...
A theoretical study on the effect of spontaneous polarization screening on the dielectric response of ferroelectric films with 180 degrees domains going through the film thickness (through-domains) is presented. It has been shown by several researchers tha ...
The presence of free charges and numerous discontinuities separating liquid, gas, and solid phases in partially saturated soils give rise to Maxwell-Wagner polarization that may significantly affect bulk dielectric permittivity measurements. Evidence sugge ...
The operational range of MEMS electrostatic parallel plate actuators can be extended beyond pull-in with the presence of an intermediate dielectric layer, which has a significant effect on the behaviour of such actuators. Here we study the behaviour of can ...
We report a first-principles investigation of ultrathin BaTiO3 films with SrRuO3 electrodes. We find that the ionic relaxations in the metal-oxide electrode play a crucial role in stabilizing the ferroelectric phase. Comparison with frozen-phonon calculati ...
This work aims at a better understanding of transport mechanisms which take place in organic semiconductors such as pentacene. More accurately, we believe that the electronic polarization plays a leading part, which we try to identify in the particular cas ...
