高居里温度铁电单晶PIN-PT的机电性能

弛豫铁电单晶Pb(In_1/2Nb_1/2)O₃-PbTiO₃(PIN-PT)相较于常用的Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃-PbTiO₃(PMN-PT)具有更高的居里温度,在高稳定性、高性能的传感器、换能器方面具有应用前景。本工作采用谐振法研究了[001]方向极化的0.66PIN-0.34PT铁电单晶的全矩阵机电性能参数。0.66PIN-0.34PT 单晶的三方-四方相变温度(T_RT)约为160 ℃,居里温度(T_C)约为260 ℃,室温压电系数d₃₃、d₃₁、d₁₅分别为1 340 pC/N、-780 pC/N、321 pC/N,介电常数ε^T₃₃、ε^S₃₃、ε^T₁₁、ε^S₁₁分别为2 700、905、2 210、1 927,机电耦合系数 k₃₃、k₃₁、k₁₅、k_t分别为 87%、58%、38%、61%。其纵向压电常数(d₃₃)和纵向机电耦合系数(k₃₃)小于 PMN-PT 单晶,但是横向压电性能(d₃₁)和剪切压电性能(d₁₅)都略高于PMN-PT单晶。另外,研究了机电耦合性能随温度的变化趋势,发现0.66PIN-0.34PT单晶在150 ℃以下有较好的温度稳定性。     

Elastic,dielectric, and piezoelectric characterization of 0.92Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.08PbTiO3 single crystal by Brillouin scattering

In this paper,a complete set of elastic,piezoelectric,and dielectric constants of high-quality tetragonal poled0.92Pb(Zn_(1/3)Nb_(2/3))O_3-0.08PbTiO_3 single crystal grown by the modified flux method is determined using high-resolution Brillouin scattering.A comparison is made between the results obtained by a hybrid method combining ultrasonic and resonant techniques and the results obtained by the Brillouin scattering.The elastic,piezoelectric,and dielectric constants obtained by the two methods are similar.The Brillouin spectrum consists of one longitudinal and two transverse acoustic phonon modes,and the variations of the Brillouin shifts,the full widths at half maximum,and the scattering intensities of these modes with scattering angle 9 are investigated.In particular,the transverse acoustic phonon mode at the lowfrequency becomes markedly soft from 28.2 GHz to 18.4 GHz and broadens gradually with the increase of θ,while its intensity decreases gradually as compared with that of the original one.The possible origins of the results are discussed.     

Two Rare-Earth Molecular Ferroelectrics with High Curie Temperatures,Large Spontaneous Polarization,Switchable Second Harmonic Generation Effects,and Strong Photoluminescence

Smart multifunctional molecular ferroelectrics bearing high Curie temperatures and diverse excellent physical properties, such as second harmonic generation (SHG) responses, luminescence, and semiconductivity, among others, have significant applications but have seldom been documented. Herein, the rare-earth metals Nd and Pr are introduced into a simple molecular system (nBu₄N )₃[M(NO₃)_x(SCN)_y] (nBu₄N₌tetrabutyl ammonium, M=rare-earth metal, nBu=CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂), and two new multifunctional molecular ferroelectrics are obtained: (nBu₄N )₃[Nd(NO₃)₄(SCN)₂] ( 1 ) and (nBu₄N )₃[Pr(NO₃)₄(SCN)₂] ( 2 ). Their distinct heat and dielectric anomaly dependence on temperature verifies that compounds 1 and 2 experience high-temperature para-ferroelectric phase transitions at 408 and 413 K, respectively. Strikingly, both molecular ferroelectrics possess large spontaneous polarization with P_s values of 9.05 and 8.50 μC cm⁻², respectively, and are further characterized by the appearance of multiple intersecting non-180° domains and polarization switching behavior. In particular, compounds 1 and 2 show good stability with only a small decrease in SHG intensity after switching cycles, suggesting that they have great potential for application in nonlinear optical (NLO) switches. Simultaneously, the rare-earth compounds 1 and 2 present bright yellow–red and bright green fluorescence, respectively, at room temperature.     

Ferroelectric Coordination Polymers Self‐Assembled from Mesogenic Zinc(II) Porphyrin and Dipolar Bridging Ligands

A new class of ferroelectric coordination‐based polymers has been developed by the self‐assembly of lipophilic zinc porphyrin ( ZnP ) and ditopic bridging ligands. The ligands contain dipolar benzothiadiazole or fluorobenzene units, which are axially coordinated to ZnP with the dipole moments oriented perpendicular to the coordination axes. The coordination‐based polymers show ferroelectric characteristics in the liquid crystalline state, as revealed by distinctive hysteresis in the polarization–electric field (P–E) loops and inversion current peaks in current–voltage (I–V) loops. The observed ferroelectric properties are explainable by flip–flop rotation of the dipolar axle ligands induced by the applied electric field, as demonstrated by the positive‐up–negative‐down (PUND) measurements. The present system provides a new operating principle in supramolecular ferroelectrics.     

High P–T Raman study of transitions in relaxor multiferroic Pb(Fe0.5Nb0.5)O3

The vibrational and structural properties of Pb(Fe_0.5Nb_0.5)O₃ have been investigated using Raman spectroscopy up to 40 GPa at 300 K and from 300 to 415 K at selected pressures. The measurements reveal three phase transitions, at 5.5, 8.7, and 24 GPa at room temperature. The temperature dependences of the spectra indicate transitions at 1.5 GPa, at 335 and 365 K. The results are consistent with the appearance of an intermediate tetragonal P4mm phase between the ferroelectric R3m and paraelectric Pm‐3m phases. A P–T phase diagram is proposed that allows further insight into the magnetoelectric coupling present in this material. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Emergence of the sub‐THz central peak at phase transitions in artificial BaTiO3/(Ba,Sr)TiO3 superlattices

A prominent central peak in the sub‐THz frequency range was observed in the Raman spectra of BaTiO₃/(Ba,Sr)TiO₃ (BT/BST) superlattice grown on (001)MgO substrate. Both soft and central mode show an anomaly around 200 K and 280 K, which can be correlated with orthorhombic to monoclinic phase transition of BST and BT, respectively. The observed temperature dependence of the central mode enabled us to explain rather broad temperature dependence of the dielectric permittivity previously observed in BT/BST superlattices.

A SIMPLIFIED MODEL FOR DOMAIN SWITCHING OF FERROELECTRIC CRYSTAL

I. INTRODUCTION Domain switching is the main source of nonlinear characteristics of ferroelectric materials. The trans-formation performance of domain is the basis for ferroelectric constitutive research. In many literatures[1??10], complete switching models were adopted, in which ferroelectric materials are considered tobe consist of several basic sorts of domains, which are independent of each other. Under the actionof su?ciently strong electric ?elds or mechanical stress, the orienta…     

Quasi-pyroelectricity in the TGS crystal

It has been shown that a side electrode perpendicular to the measurement ones can significantly enhance the transverse electric current in TGS. Such a current, measured in a zero external electric field, resembles the classic longitudinal one. However, the amplitude of the transverse current oscillation, observed while cooling and heating the sample, rises much more slowly with the time of the transverse electric field preliminary application. Such exposure to the transverse field is required prior to the measurements for the transverse current to be observed, in a similar way to a longitudinal field that is applied in order to achieve a single domain state before longitudinal pyroelectric current measurements. A huge difference in the time of reaction to the electric fields preliminarily applied in order to achieve the maximum amplitude of the current oscillations in both cases is the evidence that the transverse current cannot be considered to be originated just for geometrical reasons.
