The incorporation of up to 40 % lead excess into the perovskite lattice of Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 (PZT) has been investigated. Three independent chemical composition analysis methods confirmed the correct determination of the lead excess, present as Pb2O3. High reso ...
Using the Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire approach, the longitudinal piezoelectric coefficient in an arbitrary direction, d(33)()(theta), was calculated as a function of temperature in tetragonal BaTiO3 crystals. The direction along which d(33)()(theta) is ma ...
This article reviews recent advances in the studies of the piezoelectric properties of perovskite materials. Perovskite compositions are the best known and the largest family of ferroelectric and piezoelectric materials.: The dependence of the longitudinal ...
It is shown that a strong but diffuse dielectric anomaly, commonly expected only in disordered ferroelectrics, may be inherent in strained and defect-free perovskite ferroelectric thin films. The origin of this unusual anomaly, which was never predicted fo ...
The experimentally observed temperature dependence of the quartic coefficients in the Landau-Devonshire expansion for BaTiO3 is naturally accounted for within a proper fluctuation model. It is explained, in particular, why one of the quartic coefficients v ...
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 ...
Transparent single crystals of the perovskite Pb(Zn-1/3,Nb-2/3)O-3-PbTiO3 (PZN-PT) were grown from different lead fluxes in sealed platinum crucibles. A temperature gradient furnace was used (temperature gradient on crucible: 30-50 degreesC). Optimization ...
A modified processing method for lead nickel niobate-lead zirconate titanate (Pb(Ni1/3Nb2/3)O-3-Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3, PNN-PZT) solid solutions is presented. This method is based on the high-temperature synthesis of a precursor that contains all the B-site cations ...
The structure of the antiphase domain boundaries of strontium titanate SrTiO3 that exist at temperatures below the antiferrodistortive transition, is analyzed. It is found that some boundaries are similar to Neel domain walls, as an additional component of ...
Piezoelectric response nonlinearity is approached using the Preisach description of hysteretic systems as collection of distributed bistable units. The Preisach model and its recent physical interpretation in terms of moving domain wall in a stochastically ...
