The crystalline orientation and ferroelectric properties of Bi3.25La0.75Ti3O12 thin films mediated by the intermediate layer of LaNiO3

c-Axis-oriented and (1 1 7)-oriented Bi_3.25La_0.75Ti₃O₁₂ (BLT) thin films are successfully controlled by the intermediate layer of LaNiO₃ (LNO) with chemical solution deposition (CSD), respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) demonstrates that the structure and orientation of LNO thin films have a strong effect on the orientation of BLT thin films. Scanning electron microscopy suggests that BLT thin films on LNO electrode exhibit crack-free, uniform size grains and dense microstructure. A crystalline orientation dependent remanent polarization is observed in BLT thin films, and it is found that the remanent polarization (2P_r) of (1 1 7)-oriented films is larger than that of c-axis-oriented films. Our research directly demonstrates that the vector of the main spontaneous polarization in these layered perovskite materials (BLT) is along a-axis.     

Periodicity and orientation dependence of electrical properties of [(Pb0.90La0.10)Ti0.975O3/PbTiO3]n (n = 1-6) multilayer thin films

The [(Pb_0.90La_0.10)Ti_0.975O₃/PbTiO₃]_n (PLT/PT)_n (n = 1-6) multilayer thin films were deposited on the PbO_x(1 0 0)/Pt/Ti/SiO₂/Si substrates by RF magnetron sputtering method. The layer thickness of PbTiO₃ in one periodicity kept unchanged, and the layer thickness of (Pb_0.90La_0.10)Ti_0.975O₃ is varied. The electrical properties of the (PLT/PT)_n multilayer thin films were investigated as a function of the periodicity (n) and the orientation. The studied results show that the PbO_x buffer layer results in the (PLT/PT)_n films’ (1 0 0) orientation, and the (1 0 0)-oriented (PLT/PT)_n multilayer thin films with n = 2 exhibit better pyroelectric properties and ferroelectric behavior than those of (PLT/PT)_n films with other periodicities and orientations. The underlying physical mechanism for the enhanced electrical properties of (PLT/PT)_n multilayer thin films was carefully discussed in terms of the periodicities and orientations.

Phase compositions and ferroelectric properties of Pb(Zr0.52,Ti0.48)O3 thin films with different highly orientations prepared by a sol-gel route

It is shown that different highly oriented Pb(Zr_0.52,Ti_0.48)O₃ films can be obtained on Pt/Ti/SiO₂/Si substrate using a sol-gel technique. The effects of pyrolysis temperature on the orientation, phase composition and ferroelectric properties of the films are investigated. It is found the ferroelectric hysteresis loops of (1 1 1)-oriented film, (1 1 1) and (1 0 0) mix-oriented film can both be saturated when the external electric field is large enough, whereas the hysteresis loop of (1 0 0)-oriented film is difficult to saturate. The analysis of X-ray diffraction indicated the possibility of different phase composition in different oriented films under large film residual stress. Higher remnant polarization (53 μC/cm²) for (1 0 0)-oriented film can be attributed to its more tetragonal phase composition, which results in that the in-plane domain switching can continuously occur with external electric field increasing.

Canonical quantization of the electromagnetic field in the presence of non-dispersive bi-anisotropic inhomogeneous magnetodielectric media

By introducing a suitable Lagrangian, a canonical quantization of the electromagnetic field in the presence of a non-dispersive bi-anisotropic inhomogeneous magnetodielectric medium is investigated. A tensor projection operator is defined and the commutation relation between the vector potential and its canonically conjugate variable is written in terms of the projection operator. The quantization method is generalized in the presence of the atomic systems. The spontaneous emission of a two-level atom located in a non-dispersive anisotropic megnetodielectric medium is studied.

Ionic and electronic conductivity in lead–zirconate–titanate (PZT)

Accurate impedance measurements on differently sized samples of lead–zirconate–titanate (PbZr_0.53Ti_0.47O₃, PZT) have been analyzed with a CNLS procedure, resulting in the separation of the ionic and electronic conductivities over a temperature range from 150 to 630 °C. At 603 °C the electronic conductivity shows approximately a (P_O2)^1/4 dependence, while the ionic conductivity remains constant. Below the Curie transition temperature the oxygen non-stoichiometry becomes frozen-in and the conductivities are strongly dependent on the sample history with respect to temperature sequence and ambient P_O2. A tentative interpretation assumes defect association, i.e. formation of neutral [V_Pb–V_O^··]^× complexes, and electron-hole transfer between lead sites and lead vacancies to control the oxygen ion conductivity in the tetragonal phase.

Annealing PZT-based devices at about 600 °C under low oxygen pressure (1 Pa oxygen) effectively decreases the low temperature electronic conductivity by a factor of 100 and the ionic conductivity by a factor of 10–15 with respect to normal air processing.     

Application of the Wigner distribution function to studying spectral changes of twisted anisotropic Gaussian Schell-Model beams

By using the Wigner distribution function (WDF), a general closed-form expression for the spectrum of twisted anisotropic Gaussian Schell-model (AGSM) beams in passage through a first-order ABCD system is derived. The spectral changes of twisted AGSM beams propagating in free space and through a thin lens, and the spectral changes of conversional Gaussian-Schell model (GSM) beams are treated as special cases of our general expression. Our theoretical and numerical results show that the WDF provides a powerful and simple tool in analyzing propagation properties of general AGSM beams. Specifically, the spectral behavior of twisted AGSM beams and conventional GSM beams can be treated in a unified and analytical way.     

Dielectric properties of microcomposite ferroelectrics

The dielectric response in two-phase composites of ferroelectric and dielectric materials was studied within the quasistatic approximation. Using different effective medium theories (Maxwell-Garnet theory, the effective medium approximation and the Bergman representation) the dielectric function was represented as a distribution of polar modes. One of the main results concerns the existence of modes due to geometric resonances which among other effects can lead to new low-frequency absorption peaks near the percolation threshold of the ferroelectric material. These peaks appear always higher than the transverse polar mode frequencies of the bulk components but below their corresponding longitudinal mode frequencies. The soft mode with renormalized mode strength but unchanged frequency exists only in the composite with percolated ferroelectric clusters. When the ferroelectric clusters are only finite the soft mode does not soften completely.     

The Modified Group Expansions for Construction of Solutions to the BBGKY Hierarchy

A solution to the BBGKY hierarchy for nonequilibrium distribution functions is obtained within modified boundary conditions. The boundary conditions take into account explicitly both the nonequilibrium one-particle distribution function as well as local conservation laws. As a result, modified group expansions are proposed. On the basis of these expansions, a generalized kinetic equation for hard spheres and a generalized Bogolubov–Lenard–Balescu kinetic equation for a dense electron gas are derived within the polarization approximation.     

Effects of magnetic annealing on structure and multiferroic properties of pure and dysprosium substituted BiFeO3

In this work, the effects of magnetic annealing on crystal structure and multiferroic properties of BiFeO₃ and Bi_0.85Dy_0.15FeO₃ have been investigated. It is found that the X-ray diffraction patterns of pure BiFeO₃ samples are obviously broadened after magnetic annealing, whereas those of Bi_0.85Dy_0.15FeO₃ samples are almost unchanged. Magnetic field annealing did not affect the magnetic properties of these two kinds of samples much. However, ferroelectric properties of the two materials exhibited different behaviors after magnetic field annealing. For pure BiFeO₃ samples, the remnant polarizations (P_r) are suppressed; in contrast, for Bi_0.85Dy_0.15FeO₃ samples, P_r is greatly enhanced. Possible mechanisms for the effects of magnetic field annealing have been discussed.     

Electric and ferroelectric properties of PZT/BLT multilayer films prepared by photochemical metal-organic deposition

The electric and ferroelectric properties of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) and lanthanum-substituted bismuth titanate (BLT) multilayer films prepared using photosensitive precursors were characterized. The electric and ferroelectric properties were investigated by studying the effect of the stacking order of four ferroelectric layers of PZT or BLT in 4-PZT, PZT/2-BLT/PZT, BLT/2-PZT/BLT, and 4-BLT multilayer films. The remnant polarization values of the 4-BLT and BLT/2-PZT/BLT multilayer films were 12 and 17 μC/cm², respectively. Improved ferroelectric properties of the PZT/BLT multilayer films were obtained by using a PZT intermediate layer. The films which contained a BLT layer on the Pt substrate had improved leakage currents of approximately two orders of magnitude and enhanced fatigue resistances compared to the films with a PZT layer on the Pt substrate. These improvements are due to the reduced number of defects and space charges near the Pt electrodes. The PZT/BLT multilayer films prepared by photochemical metal-organic deposition (PMOD) possessed enhanced electric and ferroelectric properties, and allow direct patterning to fabricate micro-patterned systems without dry etching.     

Magnetic material arrangement in oriented termites: a magnetic resonance study

Temperature dependence of the magnetic resonance is used to study the magnetic material in oriented Neocapritermes opacus (N.o.) termite, the only prey of the migratory ant Pachycondyla marginata (P.m.). A broad line in the g=2 region, associated to isolated nanoparticles shows that at least 97% of the magnetic material is in the termite’s body (abdomen + thorax). From the temperature dependence of the resonant field and from the spectral linewidths, we estimate the existence of magnetic nanoparticles 18.5 ± 0.3 nm in diameter and an effective magnetic anisotropy constant, K_eff between 2.1 and 3.2 × 10⁴ erg/cm³. A sudden change in the double integrated spectra at about 100 K for N.o. with the long body axis oriented perpendicular to the magnetic field can be attributed to the Verwey transition, and suggests an organized film-like particle system.     

Are Field Derivatives Needed in Linear Constitutive Relations?

General linear constitutive relations need not contain any dependence on field derivatives, and the standard boundary conditions need not be modified. We show that the answer to the question asked as the title of this communication is therefore in the negative.
