We present a novel approach that allows us to calculate the dielectric response of periodic systems in the quantum Monte Carlo formalism. We employ a many-body generalization for the electric-enthalpy functional, where the coupling with the field is expres ...
Pyrochlore free Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O-3 (PMN) thin films were prepared from alkoxide-based solution precursors. The influence of different seeding layers and chemical solution on the microstructures is shown. Dielectric, electrostrictive, and piezoelectric prope ...
Pyrochlore free 0.9Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O-3-0.1PbTiO(3) thin films were prepared from alkoxide-based solution precursors. Preferential (111) crystallographic orientation was obtained on TiO2/Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrates by spin coating. Dielectric, electrostrictive ...
In ferroelectric materials, domain wall displacement plays a key role in the dielectric properties measured with respect to the driving field amplitude and frequency. The low to medium field dielectric response in many ferroic systems can be often describe ...
Homogeneous electric fields are treated within density functional calculations with periodic boundary conditions. A nonlocal energy functional depending on the applied field is used within an ab initio molecular dynamics scheme. The reliability of the meth ...
We study the dielectric susceptibility of liquid hydrogen chloride at a temperature of 313 K using ab initio molecular dynamics evolving, in a homogeneous electric field. For an evolution in absence of electric field, the calculated neutron structure facto ...
We present new techniques that use motion planning algorithms based on probabilistic roadmaps to control 22 degrees of freedom (DOFs) of human-like characters in interactive applications. Our main purpose is the automatic synthesis of collision-free reachi ...
Relaxor Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3(PMN) and its solid solutions with ferroelectric PbTiO3 (PT) are of considerable interest from both the applications and the scientific point of view. In the past, many attempts were made to prepare and study the properties of these ...
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 ...
Nonlinear dielectric response of soft and hard PZT is experimentally studied at subswitching conditions. The correlations between defect disordering and parameters of nonlinear dielectric response and hysteresis are demonstrated and discussed. (c) 2005 Els ...
