Unusual behavior of the ferroelectric polarization in PbTiO3/SrTiO3 superlattices

Artificial PbTiO3/SrTiO3 superlattices were constructed using off-axis rf magnetron sputtering. X-ray diffraction and piezoelectric atomic force microscopy were used to study the evolution of the ferroelectric polarization as the ratio of PbTiO3 to SrTiO3 was changed. For PbTiO3 layer thicknesses larger than the 3-unit cell SrTiO3 thickness used in the structure, the polarization is found to be reduced as the thickness is decreased. This observation confirms the primary role of the depolarization field in the polarization reduction in thin films. For the samples with ratios of PbTiO3 to SrTiO3 of less than one, a surprising recovery of ferroelectricity that cannot be explained by electrostatic considerations was observed.     

Orientation dependence of the electrocaloric effect in PbTiO3/SrTiO3 multilayers

A phenomenological thermodynamic model is presented to investigate the effects of the orientation and the relative thickness of SrTiO₃ layer on the electrocaloric effect in PbTiO₃/SrTiO₃ multilayers. Theoretical calculations show that complete polarization suppression and a large electrocaloric effect take place at the critical relative thickness of SrTiO₃ layer of 46%, 33%, and 30% for the (001), (110), and (111) oriented PbTiO₃/SrTiO₃ multilayers respectively, not occuring at the critical relative thickness of 63%, 50%, and 46% reported by Wu et al. [H.P. Wu, A.P. Liu, L.Z. Wu, S.Y. Du, Appl. Phys. Lett. 93 (2008) 242909]. Moreover, (111) oriented multilayers have the largest electrocaloric effect which is different from that of BaTiO₃/SrTiO₃ multilayers where (110) oriented multilayers have the largest electrocaloric effect. Consequently, the electrocaloric effect of PbTiO₃/SrTiO₃ multilayers can be adjusted by the orientation and the relative thickness of SrTiO₃ layer.     

Toroidal ferroelectricity in PbTiO3 nanoparticles

We report from first-principles-based atomistic simulations that ferroelectricity can be sustained in PbTiO(3) nanoparticles of only a few lattice constants in size as a result of a toroidal ordering. We find that size-induced topological transformations lead to the stabilization of a ferroelectric bubble by the alignment of vortex cores along a closed path. These transformations, which are driven by the aspect ratio of the nanostructure, change the topology of the polarization field, producing a rich variety of polar configurations. For sufficiently flat nanostructures, a multibubble state bridges the gap between 0D nanodots and 2D ultrathin films. The thermal properties of the ferroelectric bubbles indicate that this state is suitable for the development of nanometric devices.     

Heat capacity of the 0.7PbNi1/3Nb2/3O3-0.3PbTiO3 ferroelectric ceramics

The temperature dependence of the heat capacity of the 0.7PbNi_1/3Nb_2/3O₃-0.3PbTiO₃ compound has been studied in the temperature range 120?C800 K. The temperature dependence of the heat capacity C _p has two diffuse anomalies in the temperature ranges 250?C450 K and 450?C650 K and a ?? anomaly at temperatures T ?? 225 K. The results are discussed with inclusion of the dielectric and structural data.     

Dielectric characteristics of La-modified PbTiO3 nanoceramics

The nanoceramics of lanthanum (La³⁺)-modified lead titanate (PbTiO₃) with a general formula Pb_1?yLa_yTi_(1?y/4)O₃ (y = 0.00, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10, 0.12 Lead Lanthanum Titanate (PLT)) were synthesized by a mechanothermal method. Thermal analysis of the PLT samples exhibits their nature of the reaction and thermal stability. The incorporation of La at the Pb site of lead titanate (PT) not only changes the ratios of its unit cell parameters but also reduces the grain and particle size to nanoscale. The dielectric constant of PLT is dependent on La concentration. The La concentration-dependent phase transition temperature of PbTiO₃ is one of the main characteristics of the material.     

Dynamical study of phonons in PbTiO3

Lattice dynamical formalism, using rigid ion model, was applied to the crystal of PbTiO₃ in the tetragonal phase. The model includes long range Coulomb forces and short range axially symectric forces. The radial part of the short range force constants was assumed to be of Born-Meyer type. The parameters of the model were determined through a least squares analysis of zone center and a few zone boundary phonons. Dispersion curves for [100] and [001] directions are presented.     

Effect of electric field on the smeared phase transition in crystals PbIn1/2Nb1/2O3-28PbTiO3 and PbIn1/2Nb1/2O3-37PbTiO3

The effect of a direct-current electric field (0 < E < 3 kV/cm) on the smearing of the phase transition and the Curie-Weiss exponent (γ) for two PbIn_1/2Nb_1/2O₃-28PbTiO₃ and PbIn_1/2Nb_1/2O₃-37PbTiO₃ crystals lying at different distances from the morphotropic phase boundary has been investigated. The universal Curie-Weiss law has been used to approximate the temperature dependences of the dielectric permittivity. It has been shown that the more remote is the crystal from the morphotropic phase boundary, the larger is the exponent γ and, consequently, the more smeared is the phase transition (in the zero field, γ = 1.67 and 1.49 for PbIn_1/2Nb_1/2O₃-28PbTiO₃ and PbIn_1/2Nb_1/2O₃-37PbTiO₃, respectively). It has been found that a weak electric field (no greater than 2–3 kV/cm) in the case of the more smeared phase transition almost does not affect the Curie-Weiss exponent, whereas for the PbIn_1/2Nb_1/2O₃-37PbTiO₃ crystal, this exponent decreases with increasing electric field strength and approaches γ = 1, which is characteristic of the conventional ferroelectric.     

Size effect in isometric PbTiO3 crystals

The phase transitions Pm3m⇄P4mm and domain-structure formation in 5–500 μm isometric PbTiO₃ crystals were investigated. The phase transition is characterized by a high rate and by the formation of a single flat interphase boundary {023}. A size effect was observed: In crystals smaller than a critical size (about 20 μm), formation of 90° domains stops and, in agreement with a phenomenological theory, the temperature hysteresis of the phase transition doubles.

Defect-Dipole Formation in Copper-Doped PbTiO3 Ferroelectrics

The defect structure of hard copper-modified polycrystalline PbTiO3 ferroelectrics is investigated by means of electron paramagnetic resonance and hyperfine sublevel correlation spectroscopy, as well as density functional theory calculations. Special emphasis is put on the 207Pb-hyperfine couplings, which are resolved up to the third coordination sphere. The results prove that copper is incorporated at the octahedrally coordinated Ti site, acting as an acceptor. Because of charge compensation the formation of Cu impurity-oxygen vacancy pairs is energetically very favorable. The corresponding (CuTi'-VO)x defect dipole is found to be orientated along the [001] axis.
