Hydrothermal Synthesis of SrTiO

Andrea Testino, Agnese Carino, Paolo Nanni

The hydrothermal synthesis of SrTiO3 in a Sr(OH)2/NaOH solution by reaction of four different single crystalline titanium precursors (anatase, rutile, sodium titanate, and hydrogen titanate) having the same nanowire morphology was investigated under stagna ...

Structural phase transitions and electronic phenomena at 180-degree domain walls in rhombohedral BaTiO3

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev, Petr Yudin

The structure and electronic phenomena at the 180-degree domain wall in the rhombohedral phase of BaTiO3 are described using Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire theory. Dependent on the wall orientation, two types of domain wall behaviors are identified. The low-en ...

Structure and the Electrical Properties of Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 - Zirconia Composites

Dragan Damjanovic, Marija Kosec

In this work, the effect of introducing tetragonal yttria-stabilized zirconia (TZ) particles in soft [Pb0.98Ba0.01][(Zr0.53Ti0.47)(0.98)Nb-0.02]O-3 (PZT) was investigated. Both microstructure and electrical properties of the PZT-xTZ (x = 0, 2, 5, 10, 20 vo ...

Broadband Dielectric Response in Hard and Soft PZT

Li Jin

Lead zirconate titanate (Pb(Zr1-xTix)O3 or PZT) ferroelectric ceramics have been widely used in transducers, actuators, and sensors, since they posses high dielectric and piezoelectric properties with a relatively high temperature of operation. Commerciall ...

Unusual dielectric behavior and domain structure in rhombohedral phase of BaTiO3 single crystals

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev, Dragan Damjanovic

It was noticed long time ago that the dielectric permittivity of BaTiO3 single crystals in the rhombohedral phase varies from observation to observation, but the microstructure mechanism behind this phenomenon remained unclear. We show that the variations ...

Ferroelectric Nanowires

Jin Wang

Ferroelectric perovskites exhibit superior dielectric, piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties. Architecting ferroelectrics in the small scale holds interest in both application and fundamental research. Compared to their 2D counterparts – thin films, f ...

Lattice dynamics and dielectric response of undoped, soft and hard PbZr0.42Ti0.58O3

Dragan Damjanovic, Li Jin, Viktor Porokhonskyy

In this study, ceramic samples of lead zirconate titanate Pb(Zr0.42Ti0.58)O3 (PZT 42/58) doped with Fe (hard) and Nb (soft) were studied by Raman, infrared (IR) and THz spectroscopy in the temperature range from 900 to 20 K. From the evaluation of the IR a ...

Properties and phase transitions in lead free piezoelectrics

Naama Klein

Piezoelectric materials are used in a wide range of applications, with lead zirconate titanate (PZT) ceramics being the dominant family of materials, due to high piezoelectric coefficients, dielectric permittivity and coupling factors. The high properties ...

EPFL2009

The integration of ferroelectrics in electronic devices requires that they be used in the form of thin films, which implies that for such systems finite-size effects related to the presence of a ferroelectric-electrode interface become important. In this t ...
