PHASE TRANSITIONS IN Na1/2Bi1/2TiO3-SrTiO3-PbTiO3 SOLID SOLUTIONS
2009
ABSTRACT Studies of nature of polarization in ternary solid solutions of Na1/2Bi1/2TiO3-SrTiO3-PbTiO3 were done, using measurements of dielectric properties and polarization hysteresis loops. Various stages of relaxor behavior depending on concentration of PbTiO3 were established and compared with other known ferroelectric relaxors.
Relaxation of Polarization at the Broad Phase Transition in Modified PMN Ferroelectric Ceramics
2013
The reported study is focused on effects of relaxation of polarization within the range of the broad phase transition at strong sinusoidal measuring fields in modified lead magnesium niobate ceramics. The obtained results reveal an essential thermal broadening of the ϵ′(E) spectra specific to relaxor ferroelectrics. Temperature dependence of ϵ′ eff (T) at medium fields shows two broad maximums – at Tm and at 40°C. On the basis of analysis of the experimental data, admixture of lithium is suggested to promote formation of domains in lead magnesium niobate ceramics.
Dielectric Properties of PMN-PNN+2%Li2O Ferroelectric Ceramics at Low and Infra-Low Frequencies
2014
AbstractA study of dielectric response to weak and strong measuring fields at temperatures of the diffuse phase transition in lead-magnesium niobate—lead-nickel niobate (PMN-PNN) containing an admixture of lithium is reported. A relaxor behaviour of the ceramic compound manifesting itself by a substantial shift of the temperature of dielectric permittivity maximum with field intensity and frequency is detected. Specific features of the dielectric nonlinearity observed at temperatures considerably higher than the temperature of the low-frequency dielectric permittivity maximum are related to extension of the range of phase transition to higher temperatures. This extension is related to forma…
Dielectric properties of Pb(Fe1/2Ta1/2)O3ceramics over 70–300 K temperature range
2011
The studies of dielectric response in ferromagnetic lead ferrotantalate Pb(Fe1/2Ta1/2)O3 are reported over a wide range of temperature under the applied bias field. The features of dielectric nonlinearity deduced from behaviour of reverse e'(E=) curves at different temperatures, including regions of ferroelectric phase transition and vicinity of the Neel point, are examined. Obtained results indicate a substantial broadening of the ferroelectric phase transition. The results are discussed with respect to effects of ferroelectric ordering in relaxor materials of such kind.
DIELECTRIC AGEING IN LAYERED FERROELECTRICS
2008
ABSTRACT Studies of the effects of sample history on long-term relaxation of polarization in the Na0.5Bi8.5Ti2Nb4O27 and Na0.5Bi8.5Ti2Ta4O27 ferroelectrics of layered structures are reported. The type of functional relationship of e′(t) at measuring procedures including heating or cooling to the temperature being examined Ta is found to change from exponential (Kohlrausch function) to logarithmic. Results are discussed within the assumption of presence of defect complexes in disordered ferroelectrics.
Size effects of static and dynamic polarization in ferroelectric thin film multilayers
2001
Abstract A thermodynamic theory for the calculation of static and dynamic polarization profiles of ferroelectric thin film multilayers is developed. The free energy functional is written down using a multilayer model in which c-domain layers of the ferroelectric material alternate with a-domain layers of a second ferroelectric materials. We assume that the interfaces are perfectly sharp and that the polarization at these boundaries is zero. The equilibrium polarization profile, its temperature and thickness dependencies were determined from the solutions of the Euler-Lagrange equations. A thickness induced ferroelectric phase transition is shown to exist and its transition temperature and c…
Physical properties of ferroelectric film with continuous space charge distribution
2014
We present a theory of ferroelectric phase transitions in a film with a homogeneously distributed space charge leading to the so-called built-in polarization. On the base of our complete solution of the problem of continuous space charge distribution in a ferroelectric film, we calculate the ferroelectric phase transition temperature , spatial polarization distribution in paraelectric and ferroelectric phases as well as hysteresis loop in the ferroelectric phase. We have shown that the presence of continuous space charge in a film inhibits the ferroelectricity in it: it lowers the ferroelectric phase transition temperature and coercive field. Our estimates of these differences show that the…
Depolarization Currents and Ageing in Layered Na0.5Bi8.5Ti2Nb4O27and Na0.5Bi8.5Ti2Ta4O27Ferroelectrics
2009
The present study is focused on the behaviour of polarization and depolarization currents and processes of the slow relaxation of polarization within the range of temperatures where the anomalies are displayed by the materials. Results of the study are discussed with regard to possible existence of defect complexes in disordered ferroelectrics.
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…
Dielectric Response in (K0.5Na0.5) (Nb1-xSbx)O3+0.5 mol%MnO2Ceramics to Weak Sinusoidal Fields of Low and Infra-low Frequencies
2011
The thermal anomalies exhibited as “shoulders” at infra-low frequencies and maximums at low frequencies related to structural transitions in the polar phase of (K0.5Na0.5)(Nb1-xSbx)O3+0.5 mol%MnO2 are found to shift from T ∼ 185°C to T ∼ 140°C at changing concentration x from 0 to 0.05. The range of temperature ΔТ(х) corresponding to the difference between positions of the anomalies on the ϵ′(T) curve at frequencies 1000 Hz and 1 Hz changes from 0.5 degrees at x = 0 to 2.5 degrees at x = 0.05, which may point to relaxor properties of the given phase transition being present only at rather high concentrations of Sb.
