Molecular dynamics simulations of first-principles-based effective Hamiltonians for Pb(Sc{1/2}Nb{1/2})O(3) under hydrostatic pressure and for Pb(Mg{1/3}Nb{2/3})O(3) at ambient pressure show clear evidence of a relaxor state in both systems. The Burns temperature is identified as the temperature below which dynamic nanoscale polar clusters form, pinned to regions of quenched chemical short-range order. The effect of pressure in Pb(Sc{1/2}Nb{1/2})O(3) demonstrates that the stability of the relaxor state depends on a delicate balance between the energetics that stabilize normal ferroelectricity and the average strength of random local fields which promote the relaxor state.  相似文献

For over a decade, ultrathin superconducting films have been developed for the detection of single photons at optical or near infrared frequencies, with competitive performances in terms of quantum efficiency, speed, and low dark count rate. In order to avoid the requirement of helium refrigeration, we consider here the use of high temperature materials, known to achieve very fast responsiveness to laser irradiation. We excite thin filaments of the cuprate \(\hbox {YBa}_{2} \hbox {Cu}_{3} \hbox {O}_{7}\) by rectangular pulses of supercritical current so as to produce either a phase-slip centre (PSC) or a normal hot spot (HS), according to the temperature and the current amplitude selected. That procedure provides information about the maximum bias current to be used in a particle detector, about the return current back to the quiescent state after excitation, and about the rate of growth and decay of a HS. We also measure the time of PSC nucleation. A unique feature of that approach is to provide the rate of heat transfer between the film and its substrate at whatever temperature, in the superconducting state, in the practical conditions of operation.  相似文献

The heat capacity of a single crystal of Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 (PMN) in an electric filed with E = 3 kV/cm applied along the [111] direction has been measured using adiabatic calorimetry over the temperature range 170–250 K. Anomalies in C p have been found, which correspond to a field-induced phase transition from a relaxor to a ferroelectric state at 225 K under field cooling conditions or at 235–240 K on the subsequent field heating. The field-induced ferroelectric phase persists in a metastable state at low temperatures and is destroyed on zero-field heating at 210 K. The small entropy change ΔS = 0.028R in the field-induced phase transition suggests an insignificant change in the volume fraction of existing polar nanoregions.  相似文献

The superfluid density rho_{s}(T) identical with1/lambda;{2}(T) has been measured at 2.64 GHz in highly underdoped YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{6+y}, at 37 dopings with T_{c} between 3 and 17 K. Within limits set by the transition width DeltaT_{c} approximately 0.4 K, rho_{s}(T) shows no evidence of critical fluctuations as T-->T_{c}, with a mean-field-like transition and no indication of vortex unbinding. Instead, we propose that rho_{s} displays the behavior expected for a quantum phase transition in the (3+1)-dimensional XY universality class, with rho_{s0} proportional, variant(p-p_{c}), T_{c} proportional, variant(p-p_{c});{1/2}, and rho_{s}(T) proportional, variant(T_{c}-T);{1} as T-->T_{c}.  相似文献

We have investigated the transport properties of LaVO_{3}/SrTiO_{3} Mott-insulator-band-insulator heterointerfaces for various configurations. The (001)-oriented n-type VO_{2}/LaO/TiO_{2} polar discontinuity is conducting, exhibiting a LaVO3 thickness-dependent metal-insulator transition and low temperature anomalous Hall effect. The (001) p-type VO_{2}/SrO/TiO_{2} interface, formed by inserting a single layer of bulk metallic SrVO3 or SrO, drives the interface insulating. The (110) heterointerface is also insulating, indicating interface conduction arising from electronic reconstructions.  相似文献

Polarized Raman spectra of ferroelectric relaxor 0.67Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.33PbTiO3 (0.67PMN-0.33PT) single crystal are systematically investigated in a wide temperature range from -196 to 600℃ by micro-Raman scattering technique. The results clearly reveal that there are two structural phase transitions in such composite ferroelectric relaxor: the rhombohedral-tetragonal (R- T) phase transition and the tetragonal-cubic (T- C) phase transition. The former occurs at about TR-T =34℃, corresponding to the vanishing of the soft A1 mode at 106cm^-1 recorded in the parallel polarization. The latter appears at about TT-C = 144℃, which can be verified with the vanishing of mode at 780cm^-1 measured in the crossed polarization.  相似文献

An isotropic 207Pb NMR spectrum corresponding to the glassy matrix with spherical shell type Pb shifts from the cubic sites, as well as an anisotropic spectral component corresponding to polar nanoclusters with a Pb shift parallel to the [111] direction, have been observed in a PbMg(1/3)Nb(2/3)O3 (PMN) single crystal. This represents a microscopic confirmation of the model of relaxors first proposed by Burns and Dacol. A sudden increase in the intensity of the anisotropic cluster line is seen for electric fields larger than the critical field around 210 K. This demonstrates the occurrence of an orientational percolation type transition to the field-induced ferroelectric phase with about 50% of the Pb nuclei still remaining in the spherical glass matrix. A similar though smaller increase of the intensity of this line is also seen in the zero field cooled data, demonstrating that relaxor PMN is an incipient ferroelectric.  相似文献

本文研究了Na_9[Cu_3Na_3(H_2O)_9(α-As W_9O_(33))_2]·26H_2O(简记为{Cu_3})单分子磁体在热平衡和外加磁场作用下的三体纠缠性质,利用等效自旋模型和实验拟合参数,数值计算了{Cu_3}型三角自旋环中三体负性纠缠度(tripartite negativity).分别考虑沿垂直于三角自旋环方向的磁场、平行于三角自旋环方向的磁场,以及倾斜磁场的情形.结果表明,磁场的方向、大小以及温度对系统三体负性纠缠度有着重要影响.文中给出了在不同磁场方向下,临界温度随磁场强度的变化图,由此可以得到三体纠缠存在的参数区域.同时发现在特定的参数区域,该系统存在纠缠恢复现象.因此适当调节温度、磁场强度大小和磁场方向可以有效调控{Cu_3}型三角自旋环中的三体纠缠性质.  相似文献

We report measurements of the superfluid fraction ρ_{s}/ρ and specific heat c_{p} near the superfluid transition of ^{4}He when confined in an array of (2 μm)^{3} boxes at a separation of S=2 μm and coupled through a 32.5?nm film. We find that c_{p} is strongly enhanced when compared with data where coupling is not present. An analysis of this excess signal shows that it is proportional to the finite-size correlation length in the boxes ξ(t,L), and it is measurable as far as S/ξ~30-50. We obtain ξ(0,L) and the scaling function (within a constant) for ξ(t,L) in an L^{3} box geometry. Furthermore, we find that ρ_{s}/ρ of the film persists a full decade closer to the bulk transition temperature T_{λ} than a film uninfluenced by proximity effects. This excess in ρ_{s}/ρ is measurable even when S/ξ>100, which cannot be understood on the basis of mean field theory.  相似文献

We have investigated the low-energy dynamics of the triangular lattice of Skyrmions in a helimagnetic insulator Cu_{2}OSeO_{3} in terms of microwave response. We have observed two elementary excitations of the Skyrmion with different polarization characteristics: the counterclockwise circulating mode at 1?GHz with the magnetic field polarization parallel to the Skyrmion plane and the breathing mode at 1.5?GHz with a perpendicular magnetic field polarization. These modes reflect the topological nature of Skyrmions and may play a central role in the Skyrmion dynamics.  相似文献

Electroluminescence is used to study changes in the polarization of crystals of a model ferroelectric relaxor, lead magnoniobate (PMN), in pulsed electric fields. The amplitude of the electoluminescence pulses produced during polarization and depolarization of PMN crystals is found to depend on the duration of the applied electric field pulses if this duration is shorter than the most probable time for polarization buildup. These data provide evidence of rapid changes in the polarization through realignment of the domain and heterophase structure at temperatures above the temperature for destruction of the induced macrodomain ferroelectric phase and evidence of an “excited” polarization state for short-lived pulses whose decay is accompanied by an enhancement in the amplitude of the depolarizing luminescence pulse and by a reduction in the time delay of its emission following the end of the field pulse.

A dielectric response of the Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 ferroelectric ceramics with impurity of 2 wt % Li has been studied. The phase transition has been found to exhibit a relaxor character, as is the case in PMN without Li. However, unlike pure PMN, the dielectric response dispersion in PMN + 2 wt % Li2O has been described by the Cole-Cole equation at temperatures below the temperature of the low-frequency maximum of the permittivity. An analysis of the dispersion parameters in a wide temperature range has demonstrated that it can be due to the relaxation of domain walls in PMN + 2 wt % Li2O that appear most likely because of the existence of anomalously coarse grains in PMN + 2 wt % Li2O.  相似文献

The dielectric, pyroelectric, and polarization properties of TlInS2 crystals doped with 0.1 mol % Cr and Mn are investigated. It is shown that TlInS2 compounds doped with chromium and manganese can be assigned to the class of relaxor ferroelectric materials. The temperature range of existence of the stable relaxor (nanodomain) state and the temperature of the phase transition from this state to the ferroelectric (macrodomain) state are determined. The temperature dependence of the pyroelectric current is characterized by an anomaly in the range of the phase transition.  相似文献

The structural evolution of Pb(Mg(1/3)Nb(2/3))O(3) (PMN) has been reviewed in terms of characteristic temperatures, length scales and timescales, with a view to considering the overall relaxor behaviour from the perspectives of strain and elasticity. A conventional analysis of lattice parameter data in terms of spontaneous strain and strain/order parameter coupling shows that even though a normal phase transition does not occur the relaxor ordering process is accompanied by a significant volume strain which follows the pattern of a static order parameter evolving according to that expected for a tricritical phase transition with T(c) ≈ 350 K. This matches the evolution of the intensity of the elastic central peak in neutron scattering spectra, and reflects the development of static (or quasistatic) polar nanoregions (PNRs) as if by a mean-field phase transition. Use of a Landau free energy expansion, which includes Γ4(-) order parameter components to describe ferroelectric contributions and an R1(+) order parameter to describe cation ordering together with their formal coupling with strain, then allows the pattern of elastic softening expected for a cubic → rhombohedral phase transition to be anticipated. The extent to which observed softening differs from this static mean-field pattern serves to highlight the additional roles of local heterogeneity and relaxation dynamics in determining the relaxor properties of PMN.  相似文献

We have performed the first-principles calculation to investigate the origins of ferroelectricities and different po- larization behaviours of superlattices BaTiO3/SrTiO3 and PbTiO3/SrTiO3. The density of state (DOS) and electronic charge profiles show that there are strong hybridizations between atoms Ti and O and between atoms Pb and O which play very important roles in producing the ferroelectricities of superlattices BaTiO3/SrTiO3 and PbTiO3/SrTiO3. Ow- ing to the decline of internal electric field in SrTiO3 (ST) layer, the tetragonality and polarizations of superlattices decrease with increasing the fraction of SrTiO3 in the superlattices. We find that the polarization of PbTiO3/SrTiO3 is largerthan that of BaTiO3/SrTiO3 at the same ratio of components, because the polarization mismatch between PbTiO3 and SrTiO3 is larger than that between BaTiO3 and SrTiO3. The polarization and tetragonality are en- hanced with respect to those of bulk tetragonal BaTiO3 in the superlattices BaTiO3/SrTiO3, while the polarization and tetragonality are reduced with respect to those of bulk tetragonal PbTiO3 in superlattices PbTiO3/SrTiO3.  相似文献

We report a high-pressure single crystal study of the topological superconductor Cu{x}Bi{2}Se{3}. Resistivity measurements under pressure show superconductivity is depressed smoothly. At the same time the metallic behavior is gradually lost. The upper-critical field data B{c2}(T) under pressure collapse onto a universal curve. The absence of Pauli limiting and the comparison of B{c2}(T) to a polar-state function point to spin-triplet superconductivity, but an anisotropic spin-singlet state cannot be discarded completely.  相似文献

Ceramic samples of the solid solutions PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3-SrTiO3 are synthesized. The dielectric properties are studied and a phase diagram is constructed. The results obtained are discussed in terms of ideas concerning relaxor ferroelectrics for solid solutions on the PMN side and from the standpoint of potential ferroelectrics on the SrTiO3 side. The introduction of SrTiO3 into PMN gradually degrades relaxor properties, and the introduction of PMN into SrTiO3 does not result in initiation of the ferroelectric phase transition, possibly because of the appearance of random fields in the lattice. The possibility of practical applications of the synthesized system is also discussed. Fiz. Tverd. Tela (St. Petersburg) 41, 1091–1095 (June 1999)  相似文献

We report construction of a model of polar nanoregions in the PMN relaxor ferroelectric based on first-principles lattice dynamics for chemically ordered supercells [S.A. Prosandeev et al., Phys. Rev. B 70, 134110 (2004)], combined with invariance under permutations and dipole-dipole interaction as a source supporting randomly oriented residual polarization. Representative analytical estimates of polar nanore-gion — supercell mapping reproduce both nonzero local and zero macroscopic polarization of the structure, as well as the temperature change of the supercell anisotropy at cooling and field cooling.  相似文献

The heat capacity and thermal expansion of ferroelectric relaxors based on lead zirconate titanate are studied near the diffuse phase transition. It is shown that no spontaneous phase transitions from the paraelectric phase to the ferroelectric phase and from the relaxor state to the normal ferroelectric state occur in an ensemble of nanometer-sized polar regions. It is noted that the transitions can be caused only by external electric fields or storage for a fairly long time.  相似文献

The kinetics of electric field-induced nucleation of ordered ferroelectric phases from a mixed glassy relaxor state has been studied in a number of single-crystal (1–x)PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3xPbTiO3 (PMN–xPT) solid solutions (x = 29, 33, 35%) lying in a morphotropic phase region. It is shown that the formation of these phases and fast establishment of a macroscopic polarization are preceded by some delay time, depending on the electric field strength and temperature. It is found that the monoclinic phase is thermodynamically stable at room temperature in all the compounds in the time (~3000 s) and electric field (~1 kV/cm) ranges under study, whereas the monoclinic phase of the compound with x = 35% transforms, at temperatures near the temperature of the morphotropic phase transition after insignificant time interval of ~100 s, to another stable ferroelectric tetragonal phase.  相似文献
