Phase transitions in modified Na 1/2 Bi 1/2 TiO 3 ‐SrTiO 3 solid solutions
2009
Continuous transfer from relaxor to normal ferroelectric phase transition is found in Na1/2Bi1/2TiO3-SrTiO3-PbTiO3 if concentration of PbTiO3 increases. The relaxor properties in NBT solid solutions are described by the power law and Vogel-Fulcher relationship, and concentration dependence of the relevant parameters is discussed.

Self-Ordered Second-Component Nb Clusters in KNbxTa1?xO3 Solid Solutions and Their Physical Properties
1999
Semi-empirical Hartree-Fock calculations using the intermediate neglect of the differential overlap (INDO) method, for self-ordered cubic symmetry clusters of seven Nb ions in KTaO 3 are performed with the aim of verifying the cluster model [1] of second component-induced phase transitions in ferroelectric perovskite matrices. It is shown that a seven-particle cluster in KTaO 3 :Nb has two types of states with different nature. Namely, a state with a dilatation combined with an off-center displacement of the central Nb ion in [111] directions in the cluster, and a state with a full-symmetric compression without any off-center effect. The consequences of such cluster structures on the multi-…
Crystal structure and dielectric properties of the [(CH3)2NH2]3Sb2(1-x)Bi2xCl9(DMACAB) mixed crystals
2001
Phase transitions in [(CH3)2NH2]3Sb2(1-x)Bi2xCl9 (DMACAB) mixed salts in the composition range 0≤x≤0.41 have been investigated by the pyroelectric method and dielectric measurements over the frequency range from 75 kHz to 900 MHz. The phase situation is additionally confirmed by the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dilatometric techniques. A transition from the paraelectric (PE) to the ferroelectric (FE) phase is observed for crystals with 0≤x≤0.14. Pyroelectric measurements support the presence of polar phases. The dynamic dielectric behaviour of ferroelectric systems is found to be determined by the existence of two independent relaxators. The low-frequency relaxator reveals a …
Observation of random-field behavior in (CO)1−x(N2)xmixtures physisorbed on graphite
1993
Heat-capacity studies have been carried out on submonolayers of (CO${)}_{1\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}\mathit{x}}$(${\mathrm{N}}_{2}$${)}_{\mathit{x}}$ mixtures physisorbed on graphite. We find that pure CO undergoes an end-to-end ordering transition at ${\mathit{T}}_{\mathit{c}}$=5.18 K, which is shown to belong to the two-dimensional Ising universality class. In diluting CO with ${\mathrm{N}}_{2}$ the heat-capacity peaks become progressively rounded until the phase transition is completely suppressed at a ${\mathrm{N}}_{2}$ concentration of only x=0.07. The analysis of the data shows that this behavior is in quantitative agreement with predictions of the random-field theory applied to adsorbed…
Alkaline cavities and tetrahedra in and solid solutions
1997
Seven different crystals were grown with 0 < x < 2 while seven different crystals were grown with , the limit value x = 1 corresponding to the clearly defined compound. A crystallographic study of these solid solutions was performed by comparison with the pure crystal. Structures were solved in the Pnma space group for the rubidium solid solutions and in the space group for the potassium ones. It was shown that the distribution of Cs and Rb, or Cs and K, among the two cationic sites called and was not random: Rb and K exhibit a higher affinity for the smallest cavity, the site. While the phase transition of and can be interpreted as rotations of the rigid tetrahedra mainly around the a dire…
ChemInform Abstract: Chemistry and Properties of Solids with the (NZP) Skeleton
2010
Abstract Solids with an [NZP] skeleton in their structure from a very broad family presenting very different properties with varying chemical composition. These properties range from radioactive nuclide immobilization and insulation to ionic and/or electronic conduction, extending to the field of very low thermal expansion among others. The open [NZP] skeleton provides the stability and flexibility necessary to form continuous ranges of solid solution, allowing the tailoring of the best composition-property-structure material. Chemical activity may become particularly high at the surface and absorption reactions and catalytic properties have the highest interest at present. In this paper, c…

Combined Raman scattering andab initioinvestigation of pressure-induced structural phase transitions in the scintillatorZnWO4
2008
The room-temperature Raman scattering was measured in ${\text{ZnWO}}_{4}$ up to 45 GPa. We report the pressure dependence of all the Raman-active phonons of the low-pressure wolframite phase. As pressure increases additional Raman peaks appear at 30.6 GPa due to the onset of a reversible structural phase transition to a distorted monoclinic $\ensuremath{\beta}$-fergusonite-type phase. The low-pressure and high-pressure phases coexist from 30.6 to 36.5 GPa. In addition to the Raman measurements we also report ab initio total-energy and lattice-dynamics calculations for the two phases. These calculations helped us to determine the crystalline structure of the high-pressure phase and to assign…
