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 ...

High-pressure study of anatase TiO2

László Forró, Arnaud Magrez, Richard Gaal, Helmuth Berger, Jacim Jacimovic, George Cristian Vaju

We report resistivity and thermo-electric power measurements of the anatase phase of TiO2 under pressure up to 2.3 GPa. Despite its transparent appearance, the single crystal of anatase exhibits a metallic-like resistivity above 60 K, at all pressures. The ...

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 ...

Phase transition, crystal structure, and magnetic order in VOCI

VOCI develops magnetic order below T-N=80.3(3) K. Employing single-crystal x-ray diffraction and powder neutron diffraction it is shown that the magnetic phase transition is accompanied by a small, temperature-dependent monoclinic lattice distortion with g ...

Perspective on the Development of Lead-free Piezoceramics

Dragan Damjanovic

A large body of work has been reported in the last 5 years on the development of lead-free piezoceramics in the quest to replace lead–zirconate–titanate (PZT) as the main material for electromechanical devices such as actuators, sensors, and transducers. I ...

Pyrrolidinium Ionic Liquid Crystals with Pendant Mesogenic Groups

Philip Pattison

New ionic liquid crystals (including ionic metallomesogens) based on the pyrrolidinium core are presented. N-Methylpyrrolidine was quaternized with different mesogenic groups connected to a flexible, ω-bromosubstituted alkyl spacer. The length of the flexi ...

Structural phase transition in two-dimensional tetramer-cuprate Na5RbCu4(AsO4)4Cl2

Wendy Lee Queen

Raman scattering and optical birefringence were used in to investigate a low-temp. phase transition in a single crystal of the 2D Na5RbCu4(AsO4)4Cl2. Phonon anomalies point to a 1st-order nature of the transition. The obsd. transition is most probably rela ...

Trapping of dielectric particles with light-induced space-charge fields

Demetri Psaltis, James Adleman

Light-induced space-charge fields in lithium niobate crystals are used to trap and manipulate dielectric particles on the surface of such crystals. Without any external voltage source, strong field gradients are present in the proximity of the crystal surf ...

Phase transitions, anisotropy and domain engineering

Matthew Davis

Relaxor-ferroelectric single crystals PZN-xPT [(1-x)Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3-xPbTiO3] and PMN-xPT [(1-x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-xPbTiO3] continue to attract much interest due to their anomalously large piezoelectric properties (d33 > 2000 pm/V; k33 > 90%) when poled ("do ...

Electric-field-, temperature-, and stress-induced phase transitions in relaxor ferroelectric single crystals

Nava Setter, Dragan Damjanovic, Matthew Davis

Electric-field-induced phase transitions have been evidenced by macroscopic strain measurements at temperatures between 25 degrees C and 100 degrees C in 001-poled (1-x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O-3-xPbTiO(3) [(PMN-xPT);x=0.25,0.305,0.31] and (1-x)Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O ...
