The multiferroic Pb(Fe1/2V1/2)O3 (PFV) bulk ceramic was fabricated by a conventional ceramic sintering method. The strong visible‐light photovoltaic effect in Sn‐doped‐In2O3(ITO)/PFV/ITO structure capacitor was observed. The open‐circuit voltage was up to ~0.7 V, which was much higher than the value (~0.3 V) in BiFeO3 film. The photo‐excited electric current is almost proportional to the incident light illumination intensity. The good visible‐light photovoltaic makes PFV ceramic a potential candidate for practical application in solar cell devices.
We report on the modification of ferroelectric hysteresis in Pb(Nb,Zr,Ti)O3 thin films under the adsorption of CO2 gas. The samples were exposed to the gas in ultra high vacuum while different voltages between the top (Ag) and bottom (Pt) electrodes were applied. After dosing, the samples were heated from room temperature at 1.8 K/s, and a mass spectrometer was used to detect the desorbed molecules. The effective molecular sticking was demonstrated by the appearance of the carbon Auger peak in the surface of the sample and by the presence of CO2 in the desorption curves. After +(−) 9.9 V were applied to the bottom electrode during dosing, we found a shift of −0.52 (+0.58) μC/cm2 in the remnant polarization. These evidences suggest the existence of a depolarizing field induced by molecular adsorption at the surface of the top electrode, and contribute to highlight the potential use of ferroelectric thin films as gas sensors. 相似文献
We report the study of a low temperature cluster glass state in 5% Mn-doped UGa_3 heavy fermion compound. This compound transforms from a paramagnetic state to a spin-cluster glass state, which is confirmed by measuring the dc susceptibility and magnetization. The ac susceptibility exhibits a frequency-dependent peak around Tf, which provides direct evidence of the cluster glass state. By analyzing the field-dependent magnetization and frequency-dependent ac susceptibility in detail, we deduce that this compound forms a spin-cluster glass state below T_f. 相似文献
