Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on ferroelectricity and ferroelectric materials started in 1920 with the discovery by Valasek that the variation of spontaneous polarization in Rochelle salt with sign and magnitude of an applied electric field traced a complete and reproducible hysteresis loop. Activity in the field was sporadic until 1935, when Busch and co-workers announced the observation of similar behavior in potassium dihydrogen phosphate and related compounds. Progress thereafter continued at a modest level with the undertaking of some theoretical as well as further experimental studies. In 1944, von Hippel and co-workers discovered ferroelectricity in barium titanate. The technological importance of ceramic barium titanate and other perovskites led to an upsurge of interest, with many new ferroelectrics being identified in the following decade. By 1967, about 2000 papers on various aspects of ferroelectricity had been published. The bulk of this widely dispersed literature was concerned with the experimental measurement of dielectric, crystallographic, thermal, electromechanical, elastic, optical, and magnetic properties. A critical and excellently organized cpmpilation based on these data appeared in 1969 with the publica tion of Landolt-Bornstein, Volume 111/3. This superb tabulation gave instant access to the results in the literature on nearly 450 pure substances and solid solutions of ferroelectric and antiferroelectric materials. Continuing interest in ferroelectrics, spurred by the growing importance of electrooptic crystals, resulted in the publication of almost as many additional papers by the end of 1969 as had been surveyed in Landolt-Bornstein.
Book Synopsis Growth, Characterization and Applications of Multifunctional Ferroelectric Thin Films by : Bo Xiao

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ferroelectric materials have been extensively studied theoretically and experimentally for many decades. Their ferroelectric, piezoelectric, pyroelectric, dielectric and electro-optical properties offer great promise in various applications such as non-volatile random access memory devices, non linear optics, motion and thermal sensors, and tunable microwave devices. Advanced applications for high dielectric constant insulators and nonvolatile memories in semiconductor industry have led to a meteoric rise of interest in the ferroelectrics recently. As most studied and technically important ferroelectric materials, lead zirconate titanate (PZT) and barium strontium titanate (BST) are widely investigated to understand their properties for potential device applications. Using radio frequency magnetron sputtering, single crystalline PZT and BST thin films have been achieved on SrTiO3 substrates, and been characterized for their structural and electrical properties. Eyeing their different potential applications, ferroelectric, pyroelectric and dielectric properties of PZT and BST thin films were studied. In addition, the introduction of bridge layers (nucleation or buffer layers) grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) has been employed to facilitate the heterostructure growth of PZT thin films on GaN and BST thin films on sapphire substrates. Highly (111)-oriented perovskite PZT thin films were achieved on silicon-doped GaN (0001)/c-sapphire with a PbTiO3/PbO oxide bridge layer. And (001)-oriented BST thin films were grown on a-plane sapphire with an MgO/ZnO bridge layer. This dissertation also discusses the realization of PZT ferroelectric field effect transistors (FeFET). Two different 1T FeFET structures were successfully fabricated and their electrical properties were examined. Ferroelectric behavior was observed in the plot of source-drain current versus gate voltage where it exhibited a large counterclockwise hysteresis with 50% current modulation.
Book Synopsis Ferroelectric Thin Films by : Carlos Paz de Araujo
Download or read book Ferroelectric Thin Films written by Carlos Paz de Araujo and published by Taylor & Francis US. This book was released on 1996 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impetus for the rapid development of thin film technology, relative to that of bulk materials, is its application to a variety of microelectronic products. Many of the characteristics of thin film ferroelectric materials are utilized in the development of these products - namely, their nonvolatile memory and piezoelectric, pyroelectric, and electro-optic properties. It is befitting, therefore, that the first of a set of three complementary books with the general title Integrated Ferroelectric Devices and Technologies focuses on the synthesis of thin film ferroelectric materials and their basic properties. Because it is a basic introduction to the chemistry, materials science, processing, and physics of the materials from which integrated ferroelectrics are made, newcomers to this field as well as veterans will find this book self-contained and invaluable in acquiring the diverse elements requisite to success in their work in this area. It is directed at electronic engineers and physicists as well as process and system engineers, ceramicists, and chemists involved in the research, design, development, manufacturing, and utilization of thin film ferroelectric materials.

This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 692 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a joint effort of the Research Materials Information Center (RMIC) of the Solid State Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Libraries and Information Systems Center at Bell Telephone Laboratories (BTL) Murray Hill, N. J. The Research Materials Information Center has, since 1963, been answering inquiries on the avail ability, preparation, and properties of inorganic solid-state research materials. The preparation of bibliographies has been essential to this function, and the interest in ferroelectrics led to the compila tion of the journal and report literature on that subject. The 1962 book Ferroelectric Crystals, by Jona and Shirane, was taken as a cutoff point, and all papers through mid-1969 received by the Center have been included. The Libraries and Information Systems Center of BTL has, over a period of years, developed a proprie tary package of computer programs called BELDEX, which formats and generates indexes to biblio graphic material. This group therefore undertook to process RMIC's ferroelectric references by BELDEX so that both laboratories could have the benefit of an indexed basic bibliography in this important research area.

Book Synopsis Ferroelectric Domains in Lead Titanate Heterostructures by : Marios Hadjimichael
Download or read book Ferroelectric Domains in Lead Titanate Heterostructures written by Marios Hadjimichael and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis focuses on the properties of thin films and multilayers of lead titanate (PbTiO3), an archetypal ferroelectric. Using off-axis radiofrequency magnetron sputtering, PbTiO3 thin films and superlattices are fabricated on different substrates, allowing control of the domain structures by tailoring electrostatic and mechanical boundary conditions. The domain structures and the macroscopic properties of these materials are then characterised using laboratory and synchrotron X-ray diffraction, piezoresponse force microscopy and dielectric impedance spectroscopy. The thesis initially focuses on synchrotron X-ray diffraction studies of ferroelectric domains in PbTiO3/SrTiO3 superlattices, periodic repetitions of ferroelectric PbTiO3 and dielectric SrTiO3 bilayers. It studies how the orientations of ferroelectric domain walls behave as a function of temperature across the ferroelectric phase transition and how they behave locally as a function of local strains and strain gradients (probed with a nanofocused X-ray beam), results that give more insight into their complex nature. The focus then turns to ferroelectric/metal superlattices (comprised of PbTiO3 and metallic SrRuO3 layers). It"s shown that even though the SrRuO3 layers remain metallic down to about four unit cells, the finite screening length at the interface between the metal and the ferroelectric creates a depolarising field which forces the PbTiO3 layers to adopt a polydomain configuration. These systems then allow us to study the macroscopic properties (e.g. electric permittivity) of ultrathin PbTiO3 layers, while at the same time making it possible to create novel domain configurations.

Book Synopsis Microstructure and Superlattice Effects on the Optical Properties of Ferroelectric Thin Films by : Jussi Hiltunen
Download or read book Microstructure and Superlattice Effects on the Optical Properties of Ferroelectric Thin Films written by Jussi Hiltunen and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis deals with the microstructure effects on the optical properties of (i) polycrystalline Nd-modified lead-zirkonium-titanate (PNZT) and (ii) highly oriented BaTiO3 (BTO) thin films together with the stacking structure influence on the optical properties of (iii) BaTiO3-SrTiO3 (STO) superlattice thin films. All the films were grown on MgO(001) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. Different structures were obtained by tuning the thin film processing conditions. PNZT thin films were deposited at room temperature and different crystallite size distributions were produced by varying the post-annealing temperature. The refractive index and electro-optic responses were found to increase with increasing mean crystallite size. Oxygen pressure during the film deposition at 700 °C was found to be a very critical parameter to modify the crystallographic and consequent other physical properties of BTO thin films as suggested by the dielectric and optical measurements. Low oxygen pressure films were epitaxial, with elongated lattice parameters along the surface normal, while increased working oxygen pressure produced non-epitaxial films with lattice elongation along the in-plane orientation. An effective electro-optic coefficient of ~21 pm/V was measured for the BTO films. Periodic BTO-STO superlattices were deposited with varying stacking periodicity between 27 and 1670 A. Birefringence decreased with increasing stacking periodicity, due to relaxation of the lattice strain induced by the layer interfaces. The electro-optic response was found to reach a maximum at a specific stacking periodicity and it decreases with both increasing and decreasing individual layer thickness. The operation of a Mach-Zehnder waveguide intensity modulator based on the BTO-STO superlattice with effective electro-optic coefficient of 73 pm/V was also demonstrated.
Book Synopsis Ultrasonic Transducer Materials by : O. E. Mattiat
Download or read book Ultrasonic Transducer Materials written by O. E. Mattiat and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-13 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years remarkable progress has been made in the development of materials for ultrasonic transducers. There is a continuing trend towards increasingly higher frequency ranges for the application of ultrasonic trans ducers in modern technology. The progress in this area has been especially rapid and articles and papers on the subject are scattered over numerous technical and scientific journals in this country and abroad. Although good books have appeared on ultrasonics in general and ultrasonic transducers in particular in which, for obvious reasons, materials play an important part, no comprehensive treatise is available that represents the state-of-the-art on modern ultrasonic transducer materials. This book intends to fill a need for a thorough review of the subject. Not all materials are covered of which, theoretically, ultrasonic trans ducers could be made but those that are or may be of technical impor tance and which have inherent electro acoustic transducer properties, i.e., materials that are either magnetostrictive, electrostrictive, or piezoelectric. The book has been devided into three parts which somewhat reflect the historic development of ultrasonic transducer materials for important tech nical application. Chapter 1 deals with magnetostrictive materials, magnetostrictive met als and their alloys, and magnetostrictive ferrites (polycrystalline ceramics). The metals are useful especially in cases where ruggednes of the transducers are of overriding importance and in the lower ultrasonic frequency range.
Book Synopsis Domains in Ferroic Crystals and Thin Films by : Alexander Tagantsev
Download or read book Domains in Ferroic Crystals and Thin Films written by Alexander Tagantsev and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-03-02 with total page 828 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At present, the marketplace for professionals, researchers, and graduate students in solid-state physics and materials science lacks a book that presents a comprehensive discussion of ferroelectrics and related materials in a form that is suitable for experimentalists and engineers. This book proposes to present a wide coverage of domain-related issues concerning these materials. This coverage includes selected theoretical topics (which are covered in the existing literature) in addition to a plethora of experimental data which occupies over half of the book. The book presents experimental findings and theoretical understanding of ferroic (non-magnetic) domains developed during the past 60 years. It addresses the situation by looking specifically at bulk crystals and thin films, with a particular focus on recently-developed microelectronic applications and methods for observations of domains with techniques such as scanning force microscopy, polarized light microscopy, scanning optical microscopy, electron microscopy, and surface decorating techniques. "Domains in Ferroic Crystals and Thin Films" covers a large area of material properties and effects connected with static and dynamic properties of domains, which are extremely relevant to materials referred to as ferroics. In other textbooks on solid state physics, one large group of ferroics is customarily covered: those in which magnetic properties play a dominant role. Numerous books are specifically devoted to magnetic ferroics and cover a wide spectrum of magnetic domain phenomena. In contrast, "Domains in Ferroic Crystals and Thin Films" concentrates on domain-related phenomena in nonmagnetic ferroics. These materials are still inadequately represented in solid state physics textbooks and monographs.
