Studies of structural and electrical properties on four-layers Aurivillius phase BaBi4Ti4O15

BaBi₄Ti₄O₁₅ (BBT) ceramic was synthesized using mixed oxide route and the structural and electrical properties were investigated systematically. The structural studies confirmed it to be an n=4 member of the Aurivillius oxide. A broad dielectric peak with frequency dependent dielectric maximum temperature was observed. The dielectric relaxation obeyed the Vogel–Fulcher relation wherein f₀=8.37E+14 Hz, E_a=0.13 eV, and T_f=608.18 K. The diffuseness parameter γ established the relaxor nature and it was attributed to the A-site cationic disorder. The specimen exhibited the excellent reproducibility in the measurements of displacement current, a remnant polarization of 5.4 μC/cm², and a coercive field of 4.03 MV/m. The room temperature piezoelectric coefficient d₃₃ was found to be 23 pC/N and the field-induced strain S was about 0.018% at the 8 MV/m electric field.     

Phase transition,dielectric and piezoelectric properties of NaNbO3–Bi0.5Li0.5TiO3 lead-free ceramics

Lead-free ceramics (1?x)NaNbO₃–xBi_0.5Li_0.5TiO₃ have been fabricated by an ordinary sintering technique, and their electric properties and temperature characteristics have been studied. All the ceramics possess a perovskite structure with orthorhombic symmetry, indicating that (Bi_0.5Li_0.5)TiO₃ diffuses into NaNbO₃ lattices to form a new solid solution. A low (Bi_0.5Li_0.5)TiO₃ doping level transforms the NaNbO₃ ceramics from antiferroelectric to ferroelectric. The ceramics with x ≤ 0.075 are normal ferroelectric, and the ferroelectric-paraelectric phase become diffusives with the doping level of Bi_0.5Li_0.5TiO₃ increasing. As x increases, the Curie temperature of the ceramics decreases linearly, while the relative permittivity ε_r increases. 0.925NaNbO₃–0.075(Bi_0.5Li_0.5)TiO₃ ceramic exhibits the relatively large piezoelectric constant (d₃₃ = 58 pC/N), high Curie temperature (T_C = 228 °C) and good temperature stability, suggesting that the ceramics are one of new possible candidates for lead-free piezoelectric materials.     

Reverse depletion effects and the determination of ligand density on some spherical bioparticles

In cell environments crowded with macromolecules, the depletion effects act and assist in the assembly of a wide range of cellular structures, from the cytoskeleton to the chromatin loop, which are well accepted. But a recent quantum dot experiment indicated that the dimensions of the receptor–ligand complex have strong effects on the size-dependent exclusion of proteins in cell environments. In this article, a continuum elastic model is constructed to resolve the competition between the dimension of the receptor–ligand complex and depletion effects in the endocytosis of a spherical virus-like bioparticle. Our results show that the depletion effects do not always assist endocytosis of a spherical virus-like bioparticle; while the dimension of the ligand–receptor complex is larger than the size of a small bioparticle in cell environments, the depletion effects do not work and reverse effects appear. The ligand density covered on the virus can be identified quantitatively.     

Inversion formula and Parseval theorem for complex continuous wavelet transforms studied by entangled state representation

In a preceding letter (2007 Opt.Lett.32 554) we propose complex continuous wavelet transforms and found Laguerre-Gaussian mother wavelets family.In this work we present the inversion formula and Parseval theorem for complex continuous wavelet transform by virtue of the entangled state representation,which makes the complex continuous wavelet transform theory complete.A new orthogonal property of mother wavelet in parameter space is revealed.
