Supplement to the paper “A collection of 505 papers on false or unconfirmed ferroelectric properties in single crystals,ceramics and polymers [Front. Phys. 14(6), 63301 (2019)]”

This supplement contains 222 (angel number) further papers on false or unconfirmed ferroelectric properties in single crystals, ceramics and polymers and only concerns bulk materials. Thus, the number of such papers has reached huge value 727. The papers marked in red have drastically broken the principles of symmetry because they reported the existence of ferroelectricity in crystals without the polar axis.     

The work function of hydrothermally synthesized UO2 and the implications for semiconductor device fabrication

The photoelectric work function of nearly stoichiometric (111) and (100) hydrothermally grown UO₂ was measured to be 6.28 ± 0.36 eV and 5.80 ± 0.36 eV, respectively. Candidate metals for electrical contacts are identified for both rectifying and non‐rectifying contacts based on work function, lattice compatibility, and electrical conductivity.     

Effects of Y incorporation in TaON gate dielectric on electrical performance of GaAs metal–oxide–semiconductor capacitor

In this study, GaAs metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) capacitors using Y‐incorporated TaON as gate dielectric have been investigated. Experimental results show that the sample with a Y/(Y + Ta) atomic ratio of 27.6% exhibits the best device characteristics: high k value (22.9), low interfacestate density (9.0 × 10¹¹ cm^–2 eV^–1), small flatband voltage (1.05 V), small frequency dispersion and low gate leakage current (1.3 × 10^–5A/cm² at V_fb + 1 V). These merits should be attributed to the complementary properties of Y₂O₃ and Ta₂O₅:Y can effectively passivate the large amount of oxygen vacancies in Ta₂O₅, while the positively‐charged oxygen vacancies in Ta₂O₅ are capable of neutralizing the effects of the negative oxide charges in Y₂O₃. This work demonstrates that an appropriate doping of Y content in TaON gate dielectric can effectively improve the electrical performance for GaAs MOS devices.

二维正方格子磁性光子晶体的界面传导模

采用平面波展开加超元胞方法计算了二维正方格子磁性光子晶体的光子带隙结构，其中散射子的形状分别为长方形，正方形，六角形和圆形.结果表明绝对带隙宽度和其宽高比远大于同种结构的非磁性光子晶体.在此基础上，构成了混合型异质结，并计算了相应的传导模，发现了理想的界面传导模，而且当磁性散射子为长方形、圆形、六角形散射子时产生传导模都不需要晶格畸变，这也是磁性光子晶体异质结所具备的优点. 关键词： 光子晶体 光子带隙结构 传导模     

High index of refraction via quantum interference in a three-level system of Er^3＋-doped yttrium aluminium garnet crystal

A simple three-level system is proposed to produce high index of refraction with zero absorption in an Er^3＋-doped yttrium aluminium garnet （YAG） crystal, which is achieved for a probe field between the excited state 4I13/2 and ground state 4I15/2 by adjusting a strong coherent driving field between the upper excited state 4I11/2 and 4I15/2. It is found that the changes of the frequency of the coherent driving field and the concentration of Er^3＋ ions in the YAG crystal can maximize the index of refraction accompanied by vanishing absorption. This result could be useful for the dispersion compensation in fibre communication, laser particle acceleration, high precision magnetometry and so on.

Helium blistering of niobium: Large swelling measurements supporting the gas pressure model

Crystal potentials are usually obtained through a combination of theoretical calculation and the fitting of crystal properties. Because of thermal expansion of the crystal, the equilibrium condition is not satisfied at all temperatures unless the crystal potential is made temperature-dependent. A quasiharmonic potential that satisfies the equilibrium condition at all temperatures is derived from KC1 and used to calculate temperature-dependent defect energies (at constant volume). Other thermodynamic defect parameters are then derived by combining these results with the experimental Gibbs energies. The temperature-dependence of these parameters is displayed.
