Pressure effects of phase transition behaviour in two kinds of ferroelectric polymers of poly(vinylidene fluoride), PVDF, and copolymers of vinylidene fluoride and trifluoroethylene, (VDF/TrFE), are discussed. In the case of PVDF, several high-pressure treatments including a high-pressure annealing and a uniaxial compression were shown to induce a crystal transformation from a non-polar Form II crystal to a polar Form I crystal, which has ferroelectric characteristics and high piezoelectric activity. In addition, substantial pressure effects on ferroelectric phase transition points as well as crystal structures were observed for (VDF/TrFE) copolymers with different VDF contents. The most significant pressure effects were observed for copolymer samples with unstable ferroelectric structures at atmospheric pressure. From high-pressure X-ray and Raman scattering studies, these pressure effects were suggested to originate from the pressure-induced conformational transition from gauche to trans in the molecular chains. 相似文献

We analyze the possibility of a ferroelectric transition in heteronuclear molecules consisting of Bose-Bose, Bose-Fermi, or Fermi-Fermi atom pairs. This transition is characterized by the appearance of a spontaneous electric polarization below a critical temperature. We discuss the existence of a ferroelectric Fermi liquid phase for Fermi molecules and the existence of a ferroelectric superfluid phase for Bose molecules characterized by the coexistence of ferroelectric and superfluid orders. Lastly, we propose an experiment to detect ferroelectric correlations through the observation of coherent dipole radiation pulses. 相似文献

The structural phase transition has been investigated by X-ray diffraction and infrared and Raman spectroscopic measurements for ferroelectric fluorine polymers, including poly(vinylidene fluoride) and its copolymers with trifluoroethylene or tetrafluoroethylene. One of the most characteristic features of this ferroelectric transition is the large conformational change of the molecular chains between the trans and gauche rotational isomers, quite different from the structural change observed generally in the usual ionic ferroelectric materials. The crystallization and transition behaviors depend sensitively on the monomer composition in the copolymers as well as on the sample preparation conditions. The roles of the optic and acoustic phonons in the ferroelectric phase transition have been discussed based on the temperature dependences of the far-infrared spectra and the ultrasonic velocity. 相似文献

Temperature dependences of the dielectric properties of ultrathin polyvinylidene fluoride films prepared using the Langmuir-Blodgett method were studied by linear and nonlinear dielectric spectroscopy. It is shown that ultrathin Langmuir films of polyvinylidene fluoride exhibit a manifestation of a first-order ferroelectric phase transition, which can be assigned to the interaction between the spontaneous polarization and the surfaces bounding the film. As the film thickness increases, the effect of the surfaces decreases and the ferroelectric phase transition shifts to high temperatures to vanish altogether when the temperature region of the transition rises above the melting point. 相似文献

A nematic liquid crystalline phase is considered whose rod-like non-centrosymmetric molecules possess a permanent dipole moment. This phase is a “liquid ferroelectric” if all the molecules are oriented along the same “preferred” direction. It is shown that a liquid ferroelectric can not exist in a homogeneous nematic state. It is transformed into a more stable helical structure (the vector of the spontaneous polarization of such a structure rotates aroung the helical axis). There is a variety of domain structures for the specific case when the anisotropy coefficient of the polarization is equal to zero. Since each elementary dipole moment is rigidly bound to its molecule, the “preferred” alignment direction of the rod-like molecules as well as the polarization vector rotates with respect to the same axis in a helical manner. Therefore a nematic phase with a nonzero spontaneous polarization has a cholesteric structure. Its helical pitch is determined by the geometric size of the sample, the absolute value of the spontaneous polarization, and the elastic moduli. Apparently, we can consider some cholesteric phases to be liquid ferroelectrics with helical domain structure. 相似文献

A phenomenological thermodynamic Landau–Devonshire theory is developed to investigate phase diagrams of epitaxial ferroelectric films with out-of-plane misfit strain induced by vertical nanocomposites. The thermodynamic potential of ferroelectric films is obtained based on the boundary conditions of three-dimensional clamping induced by the vertical nanocomposites. Our calculated results indicate that the out-of-plane misfit strain modulates the transition temperature and spontaneous polarization of ferroelectric films in a wide range even the substrate does not provide an effective in-plane misfit strain control. An enhanced critical transition temperature up to 803 °C in BaTiO3 films under a tensile out-of-plane misfit strain is predicted, which is consistent with the experimental result very well. The polarization properties of BaTiO3 films can also be effectively modulated by the out-of-plane misfit strain which is controlled by the volume fraction of nanopillars in the vertical nanocomposites. Our method provides a theoretical guide for the out-of-plane strain engineering of ferroelectric films. 相似文献

The ferroelectric phase transition on the free surface of a polymer ferroelectric Langmuir-Blodgett film was studied by the optical second harmonic generation (SHG) technique. A hysteresis in the temperature dependence of the SHG intensity observed for a multilayer film of a poly(vinylidene fluoride)-trifluoroethylene copolymer in the vicinity of T≈15°C is a manifestation of the first-order ferroelectric phase transition in the topmost surface monolayer of the film. 相似文献

Using the Landau–Khalatnikov equation of motion, the polarization reversal behavior in an asymmetric ferroelectric thin film has been studied. Our model first introduces a third power of polarization to describe the asymmetry of a ferroelectric thin film with surface transition layer, which originates from the difference between the surfaces. Interestingly, vertical drift of polarization switching behaviors was found in this system. The properties consisting of hysteresis loop, spontaneous polarization, switching current of an asymmetric ferroelectric thin film with surface transition layer are discussed. 相似文献

A ferroelectric phase transition is observed in Langmuir-Blodgett films prepared from substituted copper phthalocyanine molecules.
The linear and nonlinear dielectric properties of the films and the switching of their spontaneous polarization are investigated
in the temperature range of the phase transition. The observed features can be explained by the Landau-Ginzburg model of a
first-order phase transition.

Three homologous achiral five-ring bent-core mesogens are presented where 4-chlororesorcinol is the central core and the aromatic
rings are linked by ester groups. These compounds form smectic phases with a tilted arrangement of the molecules (tilt angle
≈ 45°). On cooling the isotropic liquid this phase adopts a fan-like texture which shows for two homologues at relatively high
electric fields ( 25-35V μm^-1) an antiferroelectric electro-optical response based on the collective rotation of the molecules
around their long axes. At lower temperature the application of a sufficiently high electric field leads to a continuous transition
into a non-birefringent texture which exhibits randomly distributed domains of opposite handedness. These domains can be reversibly
switched into a state of opposite chirality by reversal of the field polarity. This switching is bistable and shows a current
response typical for a ferroelectric ground state. The possible mechanism of the field-induced phase transition, of the ferroelectric
switching and of the field-induced inversion of the chirality is discussed on the base of XRD, 13C- and 1H-NMR investigations, dielectric and electro-optical measurements. 相似文献

Polarization reversal in ferroelectric nanomesas of polyvinylidene fluoride with trifluoroethylene has been probed by ultrahigh vacuum piezoresponse force microscopy in a wide temperature range from 89 to 326 K. In dramatic contrast to the macroscopic data, the piezoresponse force microscopy local switching was nonthermally activated and, at the same time, occurring at electric fields significantly lower than the intrinsic switching threshold. A "cold-field" defect-mediated extrinsic switching is shown to be an adequate scenario describing this peculiar switching behavior. The extrinsic character of the observed polarization reversal suggests that there is no fundamental bar for lowering the coercive field in ferroelectric polymer nanostructures, which is of importance for their applications in functional electronics. 相似文献

Ferroelectric switching processes in thin films of a vinylidene fluoride/trifluoroethylene copolymer are investigated by pulse
train measurement that involves the application of a train of unipolar on–off electric field pulses and the analysis of charge
response. It is found that polarization reversal is considerably delayed as pulse width becomes shorter than the conventional
switching time, but is eventually completed even if pulse width is reduced to 0.2 μs. The charge response in each on–off cycle
was resolved into dielectric and ferroelectric components. The former is nonlinear as well as relaxational and reflects changes
in dipolar fluctuation and orientation during polarization reversal. The latter is responsible for polarization reversal that
progresses forward and backward depending on the on–off period. Net polarization reversal occurs first gradually and then
rapidly, corresponding to nucleation and growth, respectively. The switching current responsible for these processes can be
reproduced by the sum of power and lognormal functions. The implications of these results are discussed in relation to the
switching process that occurs as a result of the rotation of chain molecules.

The structural phase transformation between the ferroelectric and paraelectric form of NH4IO, near 83°C is dominated by tilt motions of IO6-octahedra within a perovskite-like framework. Simultaneously, small displacements of NH4 along the polar axis give rise to a switchable spontaneous polarization at low temperatures. As the transition mechanism is governed by the tilting of octahedra and not by the appearance of ferroelectricity, NH4IO3 is characterised as an improper ferroelectric material. Although the space group of the high-temperature β-phase is polar, the polarization moment is zero. Raman-active thermal soft modes appear in the ferroelectric phase. The phase transition is first order with anomalies of dielectric, piezoelectric and elastic constants. 相似文献

铁电体的剩余极化强度随温度降低而下降的特性引起了人们对铁电体存储数据失效的担心.运用铁电体的唯象理论和偶极子对交变电场的响应,提出了在电滞回线测量中偶极子的滞后冷冻效应模型,对极化的低温退化现象做了合理解释:温度下降导致吉布斯自由能势垒增大,致使偶极子对交变电场的响应时间延长.引入响应的滞后因子发现,极化强度随温度降低会出现峰值,在低温下降直至为零,可用偶极子的滞后与冻结效应描述.详细研究结果表明:因材料组份变化导致热力学参量的变化是重要因素:铁电-顺电相变中软模系数的增大会导致剩余极化峰移向高温;铁电性的增强,温度极化系数的增大和耐压强度或饱和电场的增强均会抑制滞后效应,从而使低温滞后效应移向低温.运用导出的公式数值模拟Ba Ti O_3/Bi Sc O_3复合陶瓷剩余极化强度的实验结果发现,Bi Sc O3含量的增加,使居里温度略有减小,但导致了软模系数较大幅度的增加,其结果是使偶极子的滞后效应发生在较高的温度.软模系数与铁电体的极化特性、铁电性、介电性和力学性均密切相关.研究结论表明:在低温下铁电体的铁电性没有失效,偶极子的低温冻结效应更有利于铁电体长久地保存数据. 相似文献

Typical examples of ferroelectrics with diffuse phase transitions (relaxor ferroelectrics), like Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 are actually non transforming. The paraelectric phase is fully stablized against a ferroelectric phase transition in this case. A phase transition can be induced, however, by an electric field with appropriate orientation below the temperature of the dielectric constant maximum. The analogy with stress-induced martensitic phase transitions in metallic alloys is pointed out. Pecularities of the properties and of the polarization reversal of such systems are demonstrated. Actual diffuse ferroelectric phase transitions in disordered solid solutions and mixed compounds with a partially stabilized parent phase are compared with athermal martensitic transformations. With particular regard to technical ceramics based on PZT, the influence of interfaces between transformed regions and remnants of the parent phase which have to distinguished from domain walls, and of the reduced stability of the ferroelectric phase on the properties of these systems is discussed. Some effects usually explained solely by domain processes may be understood also from this point of view. Stabilization of a parent phase against an order-disorder-type phase transition is supposed to be caused by glass-like freezing caused by inelastic cooperative interactions between disordered molecular groups. 相似文献

(Bi1?xLax)FeO3 solid solution, a material exhibiting simultaneously electric and magnetic long range dipole order, is studied by the method of differential thermal analysis. The results confirm the data on ferroelectric phase transitions obtained from electric permittivity and dilatometric measurements above 500°C. The endothermal effect observed about 820°C is related to the ferroelectric phase transition of BiFeO3. 相似文献

Polarized Micro-Raman Study of the Temperature-Induced Phase Transition In 0.67 Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.33PbTiO3 下载免费PDF全文
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

Based on molecular kinetic concepts, we have theoretically studied the processes of polarization and repolarization in ABO3 crystals with a perovskite structure. We have calculated the free energy taking into account the possible displacements of the A atoms of the transition element from the equilibrium positions and the ordering of the dipole moments; we have found the dependence of the free energy for different phases of the crystal on temperature, the dipole order parameter, and the energy constants. We have obtained the thermodynamic equilibrium equation determining the temperature dependence of the degree of dipole order; we have found the Curie-Weiss transition temperature from the paraelectric to the ferroelectric state. Analysis of the equations obtained allowed us to provide a basis for the polarization and repolarization processes observed experimentally in BaTiO3 and KNbO3 crystals and to estimate the phase transition temperatures.Dnepropetrovsk State University.

Four relaxation processes and one ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition are revealed in vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymers with different ratios of the components in the temperature range from ?100 to 150°C. The relaxation process occurring at the lowest temperature is associated with the local mobility of the chains, whereas the relaxation process at a higher temperature is due to micro-Brownian motion of segments in the amorphous phase in the glass transition range. A smeared relaxor phase transition from the polar modification of the α phase of vinylidene fluoride units to the paraelectric phase is observed in the temperature range 50–70°C. At higher temperatures, there occurs an intensive relaxation process that can be attributed to space-charge relaxation or manifestation of the normal relaxation mode. 相似文献

We discuss the interactions of adsorbates with the organic ferroelectric copolymer poly(vinylidene fluoride (PVDF)–trifluoroethylene (TrFE)). Range of molecular adsorbates is discussed from the smaller polar molecules like water, which is small enough to both adsorb and absorb, to the larger macrocyclic metal–organic metal phthalocyanines. The changes in local dipole orientation may affect the strength of the coupling between adsorbate or absorbate and the copolymer poly(vinylidene fluoride–trifluoroethylene). The interface dipole interactions may also affect device properties. The dipole interactions are implicated at the interface between copper phthalocyanine and poly(vinylidene fluoride with trifluoroethylene) affecting the band offsets and the diode properties. 相似文献
