Dielectric nonlinearity of the PBB′B″O3 ferroelectric solid solutions
2001
Abstract Obtaining of novel thin film materials for electrically tuneable capacities is one of the current problems of ferroelectric material application. Suitable ferroelectric compounds exhibiting broad phase transitions and small dielectric loss in the paraelectric phase have been searched for the purpose. Lead-containing niobates PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3 (PMN), PbNi1/3Nb2/3O3 (PNN) and PbZn1/3Nb2/3O3 (PZN) and their solid solutions have been found as most appropriate. Materials have been synthesized by solid phase reactions from the relevant oxides; ceramic samples were obtained by conventional ceramic technology. Results of the studies of thermal dependence of dielectric permeability and loss fa…
Specifics of polarisation switching in PbNi1/3Nb2/3O3–PbTiO3–PbZrO3 ferroelectric ceramics
2004
Abstract The growing interest in disordered relaxor ferroelectrics is due to unusual properties mainly related to the existence of broad phase transitions characteristic to the systems. The effects of bias field on the dielectric response and polarisation switching are studied in the 0.5 PbNi 1/3 Nb 2/3 O 3 – x PbTiO 3 –(0.5− x ) PbZrO 3 system at different PbTiO 3 :PbZrO 3 ratio. Thermal behaviour of normalised remnant polarisation P r / P max of compositions with content of lead titanate x =0.33 and x =0.35 at frequency 0.1 Hz and different values of field E o are measured. Results of measured polarisation and depolarisation currents are compared with characteristics of polarisation switc…

1992
Abstract The studies of field-induced lattice rearrangement and field-induced phase transition (PT), laser beam effects in transparent ferroelectric ceramics (TFC), dopant and radiation effects in PLZT, Kerr effect demonstration and application of an intracavity matrix-addressed spatial-time modulator are discussed.
Polar nanodomains and local ferroelectric phenomena in relaxor lead lanthanum zirconate titanate ceramics
2005
Transparent Pb0.9125La0.0975(Zr0.65Ti0.35)0.976O3 ceramics (conventionally abbreviated as PLZT 9.75/65/35) is a typical relaxor characterized by the absence of the ferroelectric order at the macroscopic scale. In this letter, we report on the observation of complex polar structures on the surface of this material via piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM). The irregular polarization patterns are associated with the formation of a glassy state, where random electric fields destroy the long-range ferroelectric order. The measure of the disorder, the correlation length of ∼50nm, was directly deduced from the PFM images. Local poling of relaxor ceramics resulted in the formation of a stable micro…
Photoelectric Current and Dielectric Properties of Barium-Strontium Niobate Ceramics under UV and Visible Irradiation
2015
A study of photocurrent kinetics and dielectric response to infra-low frequencies in the range of the broad phase transition in the Ba0.25Sr0.75Nb2O6 (BSN-75) relaxor ceramics under visible and ultraviolet radiation is reported. Anomalies are revealed in the dependence on field intensity of dielectric permittivity and dielectric loss determined from measurements of polarisation loops before and after illumination. The effects of pyro-electric space charge, polarisation and photovoltaic contributions on behaviour of the measured photocurrent are discussed. Results of the kinetics of photocurrent and dielectric response to infra-low frequency studied at different temperatures are discussed as…
Heat Capacity and Dielectric Properties of the PNN-PT Ferroelectric Ceramics
2012
A study of dielectric permittivity and heat capacity of the (1-х)PbNi1/3Nb2/3O3 – хPbTiO3 solid solution system (x = 0.3, 0.4, 0.5) within the 290–700 K range is reported. Temperatures of phase transitions Tm determined from maximums of dielectric permittivity ϵ depends on the content of PbTiO3. A broad phase transition is shown to proceed in the 0.7PbNi1/3Nb2/3O3–0.3PbTiO3 composition around 312 K. Specific to phase transitions anomalous heat capacity is observed at Т ≈ 520 K in all compositions studied.
Production and properties of doped PSN electro-optical ceramics
1997
Due to multifunctionality the transparent ferroelectric ceramics is attractive to solid state chemistry and physics as a promising material for active electro-optic elements. To study doping effects on the technological processing and properties, ceramic samples of Pb1-xZxSc1/2Nb1/2O3, have been prepared, where Z: (1) Ba (0 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 1), (2) rare-earth elements: Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu (x equals 0.1), (3) PbSc1/2Nb1/2O3 doped with 5 wt.% of rare-earth oxides. Ceramic characteristics, dielectric and electro-optical parameters have been measured. Differential thermal analysis (DTA), and x-ray diffraction are used to study the infl…
