Leakage mechanisms of partially self-polarized BiFeO3 film

Partially self-polarized BiFeO₃ (BFO) film was fabricated on Pt(111)/Ti/SiO₂/Si substrate by a metal organic decomposition process at 480?°C. The influence of soaking times on leakage properties was discussed. The soaking times considered were those that could keep the leakage currents being measured in a steady state condition during the leakage tests. The length of soaking time during leakage measurement should be greater than or equal to 500?ms to rule out the contribution of backswitching to leakage properties. Different leakage characteristics induced by the built-in negative field occurred under positive and negative fields. The "flat-band" feature of the leakage current curves may result from competition between domain switching and the switching of defect complexes. It is suggested that the "unswitched" mode should be adopted during leakage measurement in BFO films. Additionally, negative bias should be adopted in negatively polarized BFO films and positive bias should be adopted in positively polarized BFO films.     

Assessment of the effect of residual stresses in elastic-plastic fracture of dissimilar welded components

Residual stresses in welds pose a significant threat to the structural integrity of a component, especially in the presence of defects and are required to be accounted for in assessing component safety. Although the R6 assessment procedure suggests various approximate methods for incorporating these effects in defect assessment, most of them are overly conservative and not very cost-effective. A more reliable approach is to characterise the weld residual stresses around a defect and study how they interact with primary load. The current paper analyses the effects of weld residual stresses on the fracture of a dissimilar weld in the presence of defect. The weld is made between modified 9Cr–1Mo steel and 316LN stainless steel using autogenous electron beam welding. A C(T) specimen was extracted from the centre of the weld and a crack introduced in the fusion zone using electro-discharge machining. The residual stresses around the crack were measured on a grid of measurement points at mid-thickness of the C(T) specimen using neutron diffraction on the strain diffractometer SALSA at ILL, Grenoble. The measured residual stresses around the crack-tip were incorporated into a finite element model and the interaction of these with applied load was predicted under fracture.     

Flash Sintering using Controlled Current Ramp

In conventional flash sintering, the current rises nonlinearly to a set current limit, accompanied by a spike in the power density. This sudden power spike may cause hot spot formation, in which current preferentially channels through a small area, causing localized melting while other areas remain unsintered. By using a controlled current ramp early on the sudden power spike can be avoided. In addition, by changing the ramp rate material properties such as porosity, grain size and conductivity can be tuned.     

Significantly enhanced breakdown field in Ca1-xSrxCu3Ti4O12 ceramics by tailoring donor densities

Significantly enhanced breakdown field of 24.52 kV cm^?1 as well as noteworthy nonlinear coefficient of 8.11 and low dielectric loss of 0.077 were obtained in Ca_0.6Sr_0.4Cu₃Ti₄O₁₂ ceramic. It was proved from impedance spectra that improved breakdown field was attributed to enhanced grain boundary resistance and elevated Schottky barrier height, which was further found resulting from reduced donor densities in C-V measurements. In addition, it was found that the activation energy originated from oxygen vacancies was increased, indicating the generation of oxygen vacancies was suppressed. Since oxygen vacancies acted as donors in depletion layers, it is reasonable to deduce that the reduced donor density was mainly ascribed to the decreased oxygen vacancies. In conclusion, maximum integrated action of strong solid solution effect and weak Sr-stretching effect was achieved when Sr/Ca ratio is 40/60, leading to greatly elevated potential barrier height and enhanced breakdown field consequently.
