Mechanism of hydrothermal growth of ferroelectric PZT nanowires

Nava Setter, Silviu Cosmin Sandu, Jin Wang, Alexandre Durussel, Mtabazi Geofrey Sahini

The formation mechanism of hydrothermally grown monocrystalline ferroelectric PZT nanowires is investigated. It is shown that the growth proceeds via a two-step process. Particles of the centrosymmetric PX-phase grow initially, having a fibrous morphology ...

Polar lattice vibrations and phase transition dynamics in Pb(Zr1-xTix)O-3

Dragan Damjanovic, Li Jin

Infrared (IR) reflectivity spectra of nominally pure Pb(Zr1-xTix)O-3 ceramics with different Ti/Zr concentration (x = 0.42-0.58) were measured and evaluated, along with the time-domain terahertz transmittance spectra in the temperature range 10 K-900 K. Th ...

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 coupling materials for thin film bulk acoustic wave resonators

Janine Conde

Radio frequency (RF) filters based on bulk acoustic wave resonances in piezoelectric thin films have become indispensable components in mobile communications. The currently used material, AlN, exhibits many excellent properties for this purpose. However, i ...

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 ...

Surface-stimulated phenomena in the polarization response of ferroelectrics

Guido Gerra

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 ...

Temperature-induced Phase Transitions in Micro-, Submicro-, and Nanocrystalline NaNbO3

Arnaud Magrez

Phase transitions in micro-, submicro-, and nanocrystalline NaNbO3 were investigated by temperature-tuning Raman spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction method. Three powders with different average particle size showed successive phase transitions within ...

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 ...

Piezoelectric anisotropy: Enhanced piezoelectric response along nonpolar directions in perovskite crystals

Nava Setter, Dragan Damjanovic, Matthew Davis, Marko Budimir

This paper discusses the mechanisms that can contribute to the enhanced longitudinal piezoelectric effect along nonpolar directions in perovskite crystals, such as BaTiO3, PbTiO3, KNbO3, Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O-3-PbTiO3 and Pb(Zn1/2Nb2/3)O-3-PbTiO3. Piezoelectric ...

Pulsed laser deposition of (SrBa)Nb2O6 thin films and their properties

Anna Infortuna

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 ...
