Kinetics of dielectric response in SBN-75 ceramics at infra-low frequencies under illumination
2014
A study of the photo-dielectric effect in ferroelectric SBN-75 ceramics of a broad phase transition under light of small intensity is reported. Relations determining kinetics of the infra-low frequency dielectric response under light and after illumination are obtained from experimental measurements revealing the features of the behaviour of relaxation time constants of the dielectric polarisation with temperature.
Investigations of Low Temperature Phase Transitions in BiFeO3Ceramic by Infrared Spectroscopy
2011
In this paper, results of new infrared FIR-MIR measurements (wavenumber range of 4000–100 cm−1) in the range of the temperature 300 ÷ 8 K of the BiFeO3 ceramic are presented. Below 200 K only one symmetric band at ca. 800 cm−1 is visible. The full width at half maximum of this band decreases exponentially on cooling. The shape of the band at ca. 545 cm−1connected with A1 (TO) mode also changes between 60–40 K, this is in the vicinity of the phase transition at 50 K. Initially a broad band reveals its components as shoulder bands. Theirs FWHM decrease with cooling.

Pressure effect on the magnetism of layered copper(II) compounds with interlayer spacing up to 40.7 Å: Nature of the magnetic ordering
2002
The influence of pressure on the structure and magnetic properties of the layered hybrid compounds Cu 2 (OH) 3 (n-C m H 2 m + 1 CO 2 ), zH 2 O is investigated for m = 10 and 12. It is shown that the distance between magnetic copper(II) layers, up to 40.7 A, is not significantly modified and that the temperature of the ferromagnetic ordering decreases linearly with pressure increase. We present a new analysis of the susceptibility data, based on the scaling theory of phase transitions, which clearly shows up a crossover from a high-temperature two-dimensional (2D) behavior to a 3D regime at about 30 K, around 10 K above the long-range ordering temperature. A model of quantum ferromagnetic la…
Quasiclassical free energy of superconductors : Disorder-driven first-order phase transition in superconductor/ferromagnetic-insulator bilayers
2020
In the seminal work by G. Eilenberger, Z. Phys. 214, 195 (1968), a closed-form expression for the free energy of inhomogeneous spin-singlet superconductor in terms of quasiclassical propagators has been suggested. However, deriving this expression and generalizing it for superconductors or superfluids with general matrix structure, e.g., spin-triplet correlations, has remained problematic. Starting from the Luttinger-Ward formulation, we discuss here the general solution. Besides ordinary superconductors with various scattering mechanisms, the obtained free-energy functional can be used for systems, such as superfluid $^{3}\mathrm{He}$ and superconducting systems with spatially inhomogeneou…
Dielectric and Polarization Properties of Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-BaTiO3Solid Solutions with Na and K Niobates
2015
The role of substitution in A- and B-sites of perovskite ABO3 structure in phase transitions is evaluated, comparing (1-y)(0.939Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-0.061BaTiO3)-yKxNa1-xNbO3 solid solutions with x = 0.0, x = 0.5 and x = 1.0. The influence of deviation from a stoichiometric Na/Bi ratio is also studied. The influence of K0.5Na0.5NbO3, NaNbO3 or KNbO3 reduces mainly to suppressing of ferroelectric properties, like in other perovskite ferroelectrics where Ti is replaced by Nb, and development of the relaxor state. Besides the frequency-dependent dielectric permittivity, the relaxor state in the studied compositions is characterized also by a temperature dependence of critical electric fields, corres…
Interpretation of the Electrocaloric Effect in Na1/2Bi1/2TiO3-SrTiO3-PbTiO3Solid Solutions
2015
Results of direct measurements of electrocaloric effect and polarization are mutually compared in solid solutions 0.4Na1/2Bi1/2TiO3-(0.6-x)SrTiO3-xPbTiO3. Three temperature regions are distinguished in respect of a phase transition temperature. Above the phase transition, electrocaloric effect is determined by orientation of polar nanoregions by electric field. In wide temperature regions above and below the phase transition temperature, the difference between results, obtained from direct electrocaloric effect measurements and from polarization hysteresis loops, is explained by temperature dependence of concentration of polar nanoregions, oriented by electric field. Existence of a common Δ…
Magnetic and electronic phase transitions probed by nanomechanical resonators
2020
The reduced dimensionality of two-dimensional (2D) materials results in characteristic types of magnetically and electronically ordered phases. However, only few methods are available to study this order, in particular in ultrathin insulating antiferromagnets that couple weakly to magnetic and electronic probes. Here, we demonstrate that phase transitions in thin membranes of 2D antiferromagnetic FePS3, MnPS3 and NiPS3 can be probed mechanically via the temperature-dependent resonance frequency and quality factor. The observed relation between mechanical motion and antiferromagnetic order is shown to be mediated by the specific heat and reveals a strong dependence of the Néel temperature of…
Comparative studies of ferroelectric and magnetic phase transitions in Pb(Fe1/2Nb1/2)O3-PbMO3 (M-Ti, Zr) multiferroic solid solutions
2015
Some peculiar features of magnetic x,T-phase diagram of (1-x)PbFe1/2Nb1/2O3- xPbTiO3 system at x ≈ 0.1 have been ascribed previously to the change of the lattice symmetry from rhombohedral to tetragonal or to the decrease of the lattice parameter with x. We carried out structural, dielectric, magnetization, and Mossbauer studies of (1-x)PbFe1/2Nb1/2O3-xPbZrO3 system, where the symmetry remains rhombohedral, while the lattice parameter increases with x. However, the magnetic x,T-phase diagram of (1-x)PbFe1/2Nb1/2O3-xPbZrO3 appeared to be very similar to that of (1-x) PbFe1/2Nb1/2O3-xPbTiO3. Anomalies of composition dependence of magnetic phase transition temperatures at x ≈ 0.1 are supposed …
Raman Studies of Structural Phase Transitions in Perovskite Ferroelectric Sodium Niobate Solid Solutions
2008
Raman spectra are sensitive to interactions between structural units and, consequently, may reflect fine rearrangements of the units of cation sublattice occuring at compositional changes affecting the phase equlibrium and ferroelectric properties of the crystal. Obtaining Raman spectra show the information on disordering of structural units depending on composition of the cation sublattice in real Li x Na 1 − x Ta y Nb 1 − y O 3 ferroelectrics. On the basis of experimental studies shown, that not only the frequency but also intensity of some “rigid” bands may serve as the function of order parameter of phase transition in Landau's theory of the second order phase transition.
