Photoconductivity in LiNbO<Subscript>3</Subscript> crystals codoped with MgO and Cr<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript>

Polymer stabilized cholesteric texture cells with various chiral and monomer concentrations were fabricated. Electro-optical measurement indicates that the chiral concentration and the monomer concentration significantly influence the hysteresis, threshold voltage and field-on and field-off response times of the cell. The chiral dopant is found to increase the hysteresis width and to decrease the field-off response time of the cell. The monomer is found to decrease the hysteresis width and to increase the field-off response time of the cell. The field-on response time is independent of the monomer concentration and the chiral concentration of the cell. A thinner cell has a smaller hysteresis width. PACS 61.30.-v; 42.70.Df; 42.79.Kr

Blue phase liquid crystal phase transition for cyano compound chiral nematic liquid crystal mixtures with three two-ring core structures and chiral dopant concentrations

Blue phase (BP) temperature range of a chiral nematic liquid crystal (LC) mixture is dependent upon the host nematic LC chemical structure and chiral dopant concentration. In this study, we investigated BP phase transition behaviour and helical twisting power (HTP) using three chiral dopant concentrations of cyano compound chiral nematic LC mixtures incorporating three two-ring core structures in the host nematic LCs. The effect of the host nematic LC core structure, HTP and chiral dopant concentrations were considered on BP temperature ranges, for two types of complete BPI and BPII without isotropic phase (Iso) and two types of coexistence state of BPI+Iso and BPII+Iso.     

Quantitative experimental determination of the Landau-potential of chiral enantiomer doped ferroelectric liquid crystals

The full Landau potential was determined for a ferroelectric liquid crystal doped with varying concentrations of the chiral dopant R1011 and its enantiomer S1011. A multi-curve fitting procedure using temperature and electric field dependent tilt angle and polarization data was employed to the generalized Landau model of ferroelectric liquid crystals. From this analysis the three Landau coefficients as well as the polarization-tilt coupling parameters were obtained as a function of dopant concentration and configuration. It is shown that the two most varied parameters are those of the first Landau coefficient α and the (chiral) linear polarization-tilt coupling constant C. The effect on the first Landau term is equivalent for the two dopants of opposite handedness indicating its achiral nature, while the effect on the (chiral) bilinear coupling term differs for the R1011 and S1011 dopant, increasing and decreasing the coupling between tilt and polarization respectively. This difference in the bilinear coupling term quantifiably evidences that the R1011 dopant increases and S1011 dopant reduces the inherent chirality in this system.     

Effect of the doping level on temperature bistability in a silicon wafer

The influence of the doping level on the effect of the temperature bistability in a silicon wafer upon radiative heat transfer between the wafer and the elements of the heating system is studied. Theoretical transfer characteristics are constructed for a silicon wafer doped with donor and acceptor impurities. These characteristics are compared with the transfer characteristics obtained during heating and cooling of wafers with the hole conduction (with dopant concentrations of 10¹⁵, 2 × 10¹⁶, and 3 × 10¹⁷ cm^?3) and electron conduction (with impurity concentrations of 10¹⁵ and 8 × 10¹⁸ cm^?3) in a thermal reactor of the rapid thermal annealing setup. It is found that the width and height of the hysteresis loop decrease with increasing dopant concentration and are almost independent of the type of conduction of the silicon wafer. The critical value of the impurity concentration of both types is 1.4 × 10¹⁷ cm^?3. For this concentration, the loop width vanishes, and the height corresponds to the minimal value of the temperature jump (～200 K). The mechanism of temperature bistability in the silicon wafer upon radiative heat transfer is discussed.     

The permeability and remanent magnetization of a randomly inhomogeneous two-phase medium

A randomly inhomogeneous composite consisting of two, ferromagnetic and nonmagnetic (para-or diamagnetic), phases is considered. The dependence of the effective permeability of the composite on the concentration of the ferromagnetic phase and on the applied magnetic field is found for the case of the negligible hysteresis loop. When the hysteresis loop is appreciable, the remanent magnetization as a function of the ferromagnet concentration is calculated.     

Magnetic properties of Cr substituted Li–Sb ferrites

The magnetic properties, such as initial permeability and hysteresis loop properties of the chromium substituted Li–Sb ferrite system have been investigated. The SEM micrographs reveal the microstructure of the samples. The initial permeability is observed to decrease with the increase of chromium concentration. Frequency variation of permeability indicates that for all samples the resonance peak due to domain wall oscillations is at a frequency above 15 MHz. The hysteresis loop parameters have been calculated from the hysteresis loop studies. The magnetic parameters are observed to decrease with higher level of substitution.

Double-hysteresis-like loops in Mn-doped (Pb,La)(Zr,Ti)O3 ceramics

PLZT12/40/60 ceramics doped with different Mn content were prepared by a conventional mixed oxide method. The shrinkage of some local crystal cells was confirmed by XRD diffraction. The effect of Mn doping on the hysteresis loop was investigated. A peculiar double-hysteresis-like loop was found and various possible mechanisms were discussed. Random local strains caused by shrunk crystal cells can satisfactorily explain the double hysteresis characteristics. The dependence of the double-hysteresis-like loops on temperature was also investigated. Due to the heat activation of polar moments in shrunk crystal cells, the double-hysteresis-like loops can transform into a normal one when the temperature is rising.

Size effects upon phase transitions in vanadium oxide nanocomposites

A phenomenological model has been proposed for the formation of the major thermal hysteresis loop of optical parameters upon the semiconductor-metal phase transition in vanadium oxide nanocomposites. It has been demonstrated that the effects associated with the influence of nanocrystallite sizes on the phase transition temperature in an individual nanocrystallite, which is determined by the width of the elementary hysteresis loop and the position of the phase equilibrium temperature on the temperature scale, manifest themselves in the form of pronounced features in the loop shape. In particular, the size effects for VO₂ polycrystalline films are observed in the formation of a trapezoidal shape of the optical thermal hysteresis loop with a wide lower base, whereas these effects for nanocomposites based on porous glasses with VO₂ nanocrystals are revealed in the form of the optical hysteresis loop with a narrow lower base (wide upper base). The proposed model also explains the symmetric shape of the major hysteresis loop for vanadium oxide nanocomposites based on opals. The size effects in opal nanocomposites with strictly fixed sizes of pores and, therefore, nanocrystallite sizes manifest themselves in the form of well-defined steps in the heating and cooling branches of the major hysteresis loop.     

Rectangularity of hysteresis loop of ferrites as a function of volume of reverse domains in state of remanence

A study is made of the dependence of the coefficient of rectangularity of the hysteresis loop of ferrites of the Li-Mn-Mg and Mg-Mn-Zn system on the volume concentration of residual reverse domains. The latter is calculated from the results of measurements of the relative remanence on the basis of a model developed. It is shown that a high degree of loop rectangularity can be attained not only in the absence of reverse domains but also in the presence of a considerable volume concentration of such domains.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 6, pp. 109–114, June, 1978.     

Characterization of yttrium-doped ceria with various yttrium concentrations as cathode interlayers of SOFCs

This study focuses on enhancing the efficiency of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) by modulating the thickness of the highly resistive solid solution layer of (Ce,Zr)O₂ formed between the yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte and the CeO₂-based interlayer on the cathode side. The effects of the concentration of dopant in CeO₂ on the thickness of the solid solution were analyzed. Yttrium-doped CeO₂ (YDC) interlayers were studied, with dopant concentrations in the range of 5–40 mol%. The results revealed that the thickness of the solid solution decreased with increasing dopant concentration up to 20 mol% and then saturated at higher dopant concentrations. In addition, the electrical conductivities of yttrium-doped ceria (YDC) and the solid solution of YSZ and YDC were measured. YDC with a dopant concentration of 20 mol% exhibited the highest conductivity. The conductivities of the YSZ/YDC solid solution decreased compared to those of YDC and YSZ for each dopant concentration, and the extent of the reductions was approximately the same for all dopant concentrations. These results indicate that a dopant concentration of 20 mol% is optimal to minimize the internal resistance of SOFCs when YDC is used as the interlayer material.
