Heat capacity and thermal conductivity of multiferroics Bi1-xPrxFeO3
The heat capacity and thermal conductivity of multiferroics Bi1–xPrxFeO3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.50) has been studied in the temperature range of 130–800 K. A slight substitution of praseodymium for bismuth is found to lead to a noticeable shift of the antiferromagnetic phase transition temperature whilst the heat capacity increases. The temperature dependences of the heat capacity and thermal conductivity exhibit additional anomalies during phase transitions. The experimental results suggest that the excess heat capacity can be attributed to the Schottky effect for three-level states. The basic mechanisms of the heat transfer of phonons are highlighted and the dependence of the mean free path on temper…
Electroluminescence of (Pb0.91La0.09)(Zr0.65Ti0.35)O3 relaxor ceramics
Abstract Lanthanum doped lead zirconate titanate (PLZT) relaxor ceramics with (Pb 0.91 La 0.09 )(Zr 0.65 Ti 0.35 )O 3 composition exhibit a repolarization induced by electroluminescence (EL) with a pronounced discrete character of emission. It is established that this behavior is related to the reorientation of nanodimensional polar regions in a strong pulsed electric field in the vicinity of a smeared phase transition. The time and temperature dependences of the EL intensity are studied.
Dielectric properties and ac conductivities of Bi1−xSmxFeO3 ceramics
Dielectric permittivity, dielectric losses and ac-conductivity of polycrystalline Bi1−xSmxFeO3 (x = 0; 0.05; 0.1; 0.15; 0.2) are measured in the frequency range 1 kHz–10 MHz and in the temperature range 25–600 °C. Anomalies have been observed at the 200 °C, 300 °C and at the Néel temperature. It has been demonstrated that doping with Sm has enhanced the dielectric properties and increased conduction in the frequency region 1 MHz) and at a certain temperature Tm, depending on the composition Bi1−xSmxFeO3, the conductivity reaches a maximum. The results are discussed with reference to the model of correlated barrier hopping.
