Response ferroelectric

Relaxor Ferroelectrics. The general characteristics distinguishing relaxor ferroelectrics, eg, the PbMg 2N b2 302 family, from normal ferroelectrics such as BaTiO, are summari2ed in Table 2 (97). The dielectric response in the paraelectric-ferroelectric transition region is significantly more diffuse for the former. Maximum relative dielectric permittivities, referred to as are greater than 20,000. The temperature dependence of the dielectric... [Pg.208]

Certain glass-ceramic materials also exhibit potentially useful electro-optic effects. These include glasses with microcrystaUites of Cd-sulfoselenides, which show a strong nonlinear response to an electric field (9), as well as glass-ceramics based on ferroelectric perovskite crystals such as niobates, titanates, or zkconates (10—12). Such crystals permit electric control of scattering and other optical properties. [Pg.320]

Licjuid Crystals. Ferroelectric Hquid crystals have been appHed to LCD (Uquid crystal display) because of their quick response (239). Ferroelectric Hquid crystals have chiral components in their molecules, some of which are derived from amino acids (240). Concentrated solutions (10—30%) of a-helix poly(amino acid)s show a lyotropic cholesteric Hquid crystalline phase, and poly(glutamic acid ester) films display a thermotropic phase (241). Their practical appHcations have not been deterrnined. [Pg.297]

Due to their high piezoelectric response, electrostriction in ferroelectrics, induced by an applied electric field, can be used as strain-inducing components (just as ferromagnetic materials can be exploited for their magnetostriction). Thus barium... [Pg.275]

In this book those ferroelectric solids that respond to shock compression in a purely piezoelectric mode such as lithium niobate and PVDF are considered piezoelectrics. As was the case for piezoelectrics, the pioneering work in this area was carried out by Neilson [57A01]. Unlike piezoelectrics, our knowledge of the response of ferroelectric solids to shock compression is in sharp contrast to that of piezoelectric solids. The electrical properties of several piezoelectric crystals are known in quantitative detail within the elastic range and semiquantitatively in the high stress range. The electrical responses of ferroelectrics are poorly characterized under shock compression and it is difficult to determine properties as such. It is not certain that the relative contributions of dominant physical phenomena have been correctly identified, and detailed, quantitative materials descriptions are not available. [Pg.113]

From the mechanical viewpoint, ferroelectrics exhibit unsteady, evolving waves at low stresses. Waves typical of well defined mechanical yielding are not observed. Such behavior is sensitive to the electrical boundary conditions, indicating that electromechanical coupling has a strong influence. Without representative mechanical behavior, it is not possible to quantitatively define the stress and volume compression states exciting a particular electrical response. [Pg.113]

In this chapter studies of physical effects within the elastic deformation range were extended into stress regions where there are substantial contributions to physical processes from both elastic and inelastic deformation. Those studies include the piezoelectric responses of the piezoelectric crystals, quartz and lithium niobate, similar work on the piezoelectric polymer PVDF, ferroelectric solids, and ferromagnetic alloys which exhibit second- and first-order phase transformations. The resistance of metals has been investigated along with the distinctive shock phenomenon, shock-induced polarization. [Pg.136]

Studies of the electrical and mechanical responses of ferroelectric solids under shock compression show this technical problem to be the most complex of any investigated. The combination of rate-dependent mechanical and electrical processes along with strong electromechanical coupling has clouded physical interpretation of the numerous investigations. [Pg.137]

In the operation of ferroelectric liquid crystal devices, the applied electric field couples directly to the spontaneous polarisation Ps and response times depend on the magnitude E Ps. Depending on the electronic structure (magnitude and direction of the dipole moment as well as position and polarity of the chiral species) and ordering of the molecules P can vary over several orders of magnitude (3 to 1.2 x 10 ), giving response times in the range 1-100 ps. [Pg.14]

Ferroelectrics Poly(vynidilene fluoride) undergoes electrostriction when subjected to high ac fields, thus can be made into actuators applied pressure produces a piezoelectric response useful in sensors. [Pg.449]

To produce novel LC phase behavior and properties, a variety of polymer/LC composites have been developed. These include systems which employ liquid crystal polymers (5), phase separation of LC droplets in polymer dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs) (4), incorporating both nematic (5,6) and ferroelectric liquid crystals (6-10). Polymer/LC gels have also been studied which are formed by the polymerization of small amounts of monomer solutes in a liquid crystalline solvent (11). The polymer/LC gel systems are of particular interest, rendering bistable chiral nematic devices (12) and polymer stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystals (PSFLCs) (1,13), which combine fast electro-optic response (14) with the increased mechanical stabilization imparted by the polymer (75). [Pg.17]

Figure 8.17 Structure and phase sequence of first banana-phase mesogen, reported by Vorlander in 1929, is given. Liquid crystal phase exhibited by this material (actually Vorlander s original sample) was shown by Pelzl et al.36a to have B6 stmeture, illustrated on right, in 2001. Achiral B6 phase does not switch in response to applied fields in way that can be said to be either ferroelectric or antiferroelectric.

From this discussion the clear similarity between the SmAPA and SmCsPA structures is easily seen. In addition, the suggestion of Brand et al.29 that a bilayer smectic with all anticlinic layer interfaces (the SmAPF) would produce an achiral ferroelectric smectic follows directly. The unanticipated tilt of the director in the tilt plane, leading to a chiral layer structure, seems to be a general response of the bent-core mesogens to the spontaneous nonpolar symmetry breaking occurring in these rigid dimer structures. [Pg.504]

Similar data have also been observed for the isotropic chemical shift and the line width for ADP in the authors laboratory. We noted that a fully deuterated DKDP crystal, which is known to exhibit no ferroelectric transition, showed an essentially flat chemical shift response over the 200-280 K range [25]. [Pg.42]

The present results demonstrate that the basic difference between relaxors and dipolar glasses is their response to applied electric fields polar nanoclusters, corresponding to the frozen anisotropic component in the NMR spectra, can be oriented in a strong enough applied electric field and a ferroelectric phase can be induced. This is not the case in dipolar glasses, where the response is due to single dipoles which cannot be ordered by applied electric fields. [Pg.65]

Figure 6 shows the influence of the pressure of e T) on both ST018-92(a) and SCT(0.007) [21]. We first note the large shift in the transition to lower temperature for STO 18. The initial slope is dTcdP = - 20 K/kbar, a large effect. Second, there is a large decrease in the ampHtude of the peak with pressure. At 0.70 kbar, the transition is completely suppressed, and the e (T) response closely resembles that of STO 16 at 1 bar. These pressure effects are characteristic of displacive ferroelectrics in the quantum regime and can be understood in terms of the soft-mode theory. The situation is similar for SCT(0.007), as shown in Fig. 6b. In the case of SCT(0.007), ferroelectricity completely disappears at 0.5 kbar.

One of the consequences of the suppression of the phase transition is the presence of a special critical point, Tc = 0 K. This point, called the quantum displacive limit, is characterized by special critical exponents. Its presence gives rise to classical quantum crossover phenomena. Quantum suppression and the response at and near this limit, Tc = 0 K, have been extensively studied on the basis of lattice dynamic models solved within the framework of both classical and quantum statistical mechanics. Figure 8 is a log-log plot of the 6 T) results for ST018 [15]. The expectation from theory is that in the quantum regime, y = 2 at 0.7 kbar, after which y should decrease. The results in Fig. 8 quantitatively show the expected behavior however, y is < 2 at 0.70 kbar. Despite the difference in the methods to suppress Tc in ST018, the results in Fig. 4a and Fig. 8 are quite similar. As shown in the results in Fig. 3b, uniaxial pressure also can be a critical parameter S for the evolution of ferroelectricity in STO. [Pg.100]

The ground-state energy terms of this form contribute to the potential energy of the Hamiltonian from Eq. 6, where they act as effective ferroelectric interactions between neighboring PO4 dipoles, thus being responsible for phase transition in KDP and DKDP. In the case of KDP (H atom and Ro = 2.50 A) calculated values of parameters h and I are = llOmeV and = 0.22 A, while in the case of DKDP (D atom and Ro-o = 2.52 A), they are = 58 meV and P = I = 0.22 A. [Pg.169]
