The specific heat of the ferroelectric phase transition in N(CH3)4CdBr3

The specific heat of N(CH₃)₄CdBr₃ from 50 to 300 K has been measured by adiabatic calorimetry, using both static and dynamic methods. The obtained results have permitted a careful study of the ferro-paraelectric phase transition the crystal shows at 160 K. The available spectroscopic data have been used to generate a reliable baseline which accounts for the normal lattice contribution to the specific heat. These results allow for an accurate estimation of the phase transition thermodynamic functions: ΔH=2620 J·mol^?1 and ΔS=18.04 J·(mol°C)^?1. These high values are in agreement with the predictions of the 6 well potential Frenkel model.

Polarized light microscopy of the ferroelastic domains of YBa2Cu3O7−x

A short overview is given on recent polarized light microscopy studies of the orthorhombic ferroelastic domains and domain structures of YBa₂Cu₃O_7-x . The optical characteristics of large domains and lamellar domains with a high density of twin walls are pointed out, both for reflected and transmitted light. The polarizing microscope has allowed to observe the ferroelastic detwinning in situ and to determine the activation energy of the ferroelastic wall movements. The question of a potential ferroelectric phase transition is also discussed.     

Electro-optic effect,propagation loss,and switching speed in polymers containing nano-sized droplets of liquid crystal

Polymers containing droplets of liquid crystal smaller than 100 nm, which have good transparency and easily form films, were prepared under various conditions to evaluate their potential as electro-optic materials for waveguide-type devices. By varying the liquid crystal concentration and the strength of the UV irradiation causing photo-induced phase separation of the droplets, we were able to control the droplet size and density. We have clarified how the birefringence generated in an applied electric field, switching speed, and optical loss of light propagating in the film depend on droplet size and density. Polymer materials having a large electro-optic effect (δn = 0.001 at 8 V μm^-1), low propagation loss (~2.5 dB cm^-1), and fast response time (~10 μs) have been developed.

通过高温固相反应法制备了Ba_0.85Ca_0.15Ti_0.90Zr_0.10O₃∶xSm³⁺(BCTZ∶xSm³⁺,x=0.0%、0.2%、0.4%、0.6%、0.8%、1.0%,物质的量分数)陶瓷,系统研究了其微观形貌、铁电性能、储能性能和光致发光性能。研究表明,Sm³⁺掺入后,陶瓷平均晶粒大小明显下降,致密度显著提高。所有陶瓷均表现出典型的铁电性。BCTZ∶xSm³⁺陶瓷放电储能密度得到了极大的提高,BCTZ∶1.0% Sm³⁺陶瓷放电储能密度较纯BCTZ陶瓷可提高约49.0%。此外,在408 nm光的激发下,BCTZ∶xSm³⁺陶瓷在596 nm左右表现出强烈的橙红色发光,且发光强度相对可调性可达449%。     

六方多铁性体TmMnO_3陶瓷的铁电性研究

通过传统的固态反应技术结合冷压的方法合成了致密的六方结构的多铁性体TmMnO3陶瓷,高压方法有效的提高了样品的致密度。利用Rietveld方法中的GSAS软件对TmMnO3的常温X射线衍射数据进行了结构精修得到了该材料的晶体结构参数。样品的介电常数和电滞回线测量结果均表明六方TmMnO3陶瓷在室温以上具有铁电性,在348℃附近介电常数有一个极大值,说明在348℃附近有可能发生铁电相到顺电相的转变。电滞回线的测量为样品铁电性的存在提供了有力证据。
