Indications of Two Separate Relaxators in the Subphonon Region of Tetragonal BaTiO 3
1994
Significant discrepancies were generally reported in the dynamics of BaTiO3 between results deduced from various experimental techniques. Here dielectric and quasi-elastic light scattering measurements are investigated on high-quality BaTiO3 crystals. We show that two relaxators have to be introduced below the soft-phonon frequency. A complete dielectric dispersion in a very wide frequency range is thus achieved which consistently relies the high-frequency dielectric results and the Raman data. There is also a qualitative agreement between our two-relaxator model and the dynamics which were deduced some time ago from EPR experiments.
Critical Exponents and Randomness in SrTiO3 : Ca
1994
Since its discovery, the SrTiO3: Ca system is known to exhibit a number of features which were thought to arise from an impurity induced disorder. Non-linear dielectric measurements are used to obtain a more quantitative insight into this disorder. For 0.001 < xCa < 0.05, it is found that the non-linear susceptibility diverges at low temperatures. This is similar to what was previously reported in the dielectric random system KTaO3: Na. A method is proposed to quantify the contribution of the disorder to the non-linearities. It is found that the deviation from a true ferroelectric behaviour is not enough to call the low-temperature phase of SrTiO3: Ca a glass one. The maximum non-linearity …
Point Defects, Dielectric Relaxation and Conductivity in Ferroelectric Perovskites
2000
In all ferroelectric perovskites, intentionally introduced or “unwanted” point defects do play a role in the dielectric spectra and in the conductivity.
Dynamics of sorbitol and maltitol over a wide time-temperature range
1999
The relaxation behaviour of two molecular glass-forming systems, namely sorbitol and maltitol, are investigated in the large temperature range relevant to the glass-transition. These data are obtained by combining three techniques, i.e. low-frequency mechanical spectroscopy, medium and high frequency dielectric spectroscopy, and viscosity measurements. This procedure allows to determine the relaxation map of these polyols on a wide time range [10-9-107 s]. Two different relaxation processes can be observed. The principal α-relaxation process exhibits a complex behaviour, comprising a non-Arrhenius temperature dependence above T g (supercooled liquid state), and an Arrhenius behaviour below …
Experimental studies of the liquid-glass transition in trimethylheptane
2000
The molecular glass former trimethylheptane was studied by calorimetric, dielectric, ultrasonic, neutron scattering, Brillouin scattering, and depolarized light-scattering techniques. The molecular structure appears to be nearly spherical optically as indicated by the low depolarization ratio and dielectric susceptibility values. A preliminary mode-coupling theory (MCT) analysis of the light-scattering and neutron-scattering data indicates that ${T}_{C}\ensuremath{\gtrsim}150 \mathrm{K},$ at least 25 K above ${T}_{G}.$ The susceptibility minima were analyzed with the MCT interpolation equation, and disagreement between the light and neutron results was observed despite the apparent isotropy…
Mean field behaviour of Sr1−xCaxTiO3
1996
A systematic analysis of the dielectric constant as a function of temperature in SrTiO 3 : Ca crystals with Ca content of 0.0020, 0.0032, 0.0055. 0.0058, and 0.0110 shows that the Barrett parameters are clearly modified by the Ca content. We have found for each Ca concentration the temperature below which the contribution of the Ca induced clusters becomes sizeable. The values obtained for the fitted parameters in the Barrett formula allow us to trace a boundary between the low-temperature quantum paraelectric and ferroelectric regimes.
High frequency resistivity in La2-xSrxCu1-yCoyO4 ceramics
2019
Resitivity measurements have been performed in La:Sr:Cu:Co:O ceramics in a frequency range from 5Hz – 10 9 Hz. A strongly frequency dependent resistance has been observed in La 2 CUO 4 which we interpret in terms of a smooth dielectric to metal transition due to localization effects.
