Abnormal polarization enhancement effects of P(VDF-TrFE) films during fatigue process

The effects of alternating electric field on the fatigue behaviors of poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) copolymer films were investigated. The value of the remanent polarization (Pr) reached a maximum with the increase of cycle number of alternating electric filed, and then decreased as observed from the curve of polarization vs. switching cycles. It was found that the maximum point is associated with the frequency of alternating electric field. Dual effects, i.e., polarization enhancement and degradation, were supposed to coexist during the process of fatigue. A model considering the two effects was proposed to describe the fatigue behaviors, and the simulated data fit well with the experimental data.     

Intriguing triboelectrification behavior of identical P(VDF-TrFE) polymers

We report an intriguing triboelectrification behavior of thermally treated P(VDF-TrFE) polymers. Cooled (C-) and annealed (A-) P(VDF-TrFE) films were prepared by the rapid cooling of the melt solution and the subsequent annealing, respectively. The C–P(VDF-TrFE) had sparse grains and small elastic modulus and surface charge density, while, the A-P(VDF-TrFE) had dense grains and large elastic modulus and surface charge density. When the polymers contacted ITO electrodes, the triboelectric outputs of C-(PVDF-TrFE) were larger than those of A-P(VDF-TrFE). When the polymers contacted each other, the triboelectric outputs of different P(VDF-TrFE) films were significantly larger than those of similar P(VDF-TrFE) films. Based on detailed X-ray photoemission spectroscopy results, we suggested that roughness-induced frictional heat and elastic modulus differences may play an important role in minute material and/or ion transfer during the triboelectrification of identical P(VDF-TrFE) polymers.     

Composition Dependence of Electrocaloric Effect in (1-x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-xPbTiO3 Single Crystals

Composition dependence of electrocaloric effect is investigated in (1-x)Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O_3-xPbTiO₃ single crystals by using an eighth-order Landau—Devonshire theory. The applied electric field along [001] direction reduces the ferroelectric-ferroelectric phase transition temperatures, but increases the Curie temperatures. The electrocaloric coefficients of tetragonal phase are much larger than that of rhombohedral and monoclinic phase. A negative electrocaloric effect is observed near the M_C-T phase transition in 0.69 Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃-0.31 PbTiO₃ single crystal. The application of a strong enough electric field results in a high adiabatic temperature change over a broad range of temperature. Therefore, it would be useful to construct a solid state cooling cycle over a broad temperature range for practical applications.     

Effect of misfit strain on the electrocaloric effect of polydomain epitaxial ferroelectric thin films

The effect of misfit strain on the electrocaloric effect in polydomain epitaxial BaTiO 3 thin films at room temperature is investigated using the Ginzburg-Landau-Devonshire thermodynamic theory. Numerical calculations indicate that the misfit strain has a large impact on the ferroelectric polarization states and the electrocaloric effect. Most importantly, the electrocaloric effect in the polydomain ca 1 /ca 2 /ca 1 /ca 2 phase is much larger than that in the monodomain c phase and the other polydomain phases. Consequently, a large electrocaloric effect can be obtained by carefully controlling the misfit strain, which may provide potential applications in refrigeration devices.     

Quick response PZT/P(VDF-TrFE) composite film pyroelectric infrared sensor with patterned polyimide thermal isolation layer

The fabrication method and the pyroelectric response of a single element infrared sensor based lead zirconate titanate (PZT) particles and polyvinylidene fluoride P(VDF-TrFE) copolymer composite thick film is reported in this paper. A special thermal insulation structure, including polyimide (PI) thermal insulation layer and thermal insulation tanks, was used in this device. The thermal insulation tanks were fabricated by laser micro-etching technique. Voltage responsivity (R_V), noise voltage (V_noise), noise equivalent power (NEP), and detectivity (D^*) of the PZT/P(VDF-TrFE) based infrared sensor are 1.2 × 10³ V/W, 1.25 × 10⁻⁶ V Hz^1/2, 1.1 × 10⁻⁹ W and 1.9 × 10⁸ cm Hz^1/2 W⁻¹ at 137.3 Hz modulation frequency, respectively. The thermal time constant of the infrared sensor τ_T was about 15 ms. The results demonstrate that the composite infrared sensor show a high detectivity at high chopper frequency, which is an essential advantage in infrared detectors and some other devices.     

Effect of misfit strain on the electrocaloric effect of P(VDF-TrFE) copolymer thin films

Based on the phenomenological Landau-Devonshire theory, we investigate the effect of misfit strain on the electrocaloric effect of P(VDF-TrFE) copolymer thin films. Theoretical analysis indicates that the compressive misfit strain reduces the working temperature to a great extent where the electrocaloric effect is maximized, which is different from the result of the conventional ferroelectric thin films, such as BaTiO₃. Although the compressive or tensile misfit strain does not change the maximum of the electrocaloric coefficient, the compressive misfit strain decreases the maximum of the adiabatic temperature change and the tensile misfit strain results in the opposite effect. Consequently, control of the misfit strain provides potential means to vary the working temperature for use in cooling systems.     

Improved dielectric and AC conductivity properties of P(VDF-TrFE)-Nafion blends for high-temperature flexible capacitor applications

The free-standing poly (vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFe)] and P(VDF-TrFe)-Nafion blended films were fabricated using the casting method. The XRD and FTIR confirmed the electro-active β-phase of P(VDF-TrFe). The morphological changes were studied through SEM analysis of the blends. The dielectric and ac conductivity measurements were carried out as a function of temperature from 30 °C to 130 °C in the frequency range of 100 Hz - 1 MHz. The dielectric constant reveled a ferroelectric to paraelectric transition in all the samples with a decrease in the transition temperature of the blends. The temperature-dependent ac conductivity and power law analysis demonstrated the presence of a correlated barrier hoping mechanism with a change in the motional behavior in the blends. The blended films exhibited low dielectric loss and more stable dielecric properties with temperature in comparison to P(VDF-TrFe). These films demonstrated the potential to be used in high-temperature flexible capacitor applications.     

Orientation dependence of the electrocaloric effect of ferroelectric bilayer thin films

An analytical thermodynamic theory is applied to investigate the electrocaloric effect of ferroelectric BaTiO₃/SrTiO₃ bilayer thin films with different orientations at room temperature. Theoretical analysis indicates that the strong electrostatic coupling between the layers results in the suppression of ferroelectricity at a critical relative thickness which occurs approximately at 50%, 23%, and 12% of SrTiO₃ fraction in the (001), (110), and (111) bilayer thin films, respectively. The ferroelectric bilayer thin films are respected to have the largest electrocaloric effect at this critical relative thickness. Moreover, the electrocaloric effect strongly depends on the orientation and the (110) oriented bilayer thin films have the largest electrocaloric effect. Consequently, control of the orientation and the relative thickness of SrTiO₃ layer can be used to adjust the electrocaloric effect of ferroelectric bilayer thin films, which may provide the potential for practical application in refrigeration devices.     

Anomalous strain effect in heteroepitaxial SrRuO3 films on (111) SrTiO3 substrates

We report comprehensive investigations into the structure of high-quality (111)-oriented SrRuO₃ films on SrTiO₃ substrates to elucidate the effect of (111) heteroepitaxial strain. We found that SrRuO₃ film with a thickness of ～ 40 nm is compressively strained in plane on the substrate with full coherency. Nevertheless, the out-of-plane spacing is almost the same as in the bulk, which is at odds with the conventional paradigm. By probing a series of half-order Bragg reflections using synchrotron-based x-ray diffraction combined with analyses of the scanning transmission electron microscopy images, we discovered that the heteroepitaxial strain is accommodated via significant suppression of the degree of c⁺ octahedral tilting and the formation of three equivalent domain structures on the (111) SrTiO₃ substrate. This anomalous effect sheds light on the understanding of an unconventional paradigm of film-substrate coupling for the (111) heteroepitaxial strain.
