Grazing incidence reflection absorption Fourier transform infrared (GIRA-FTIR) spectroscopic studies on the ferroelectric behavior of poly(vinylidene fluoride–trifluoroethylene) ultrathin films

Grazing incidence reflection absorption Fourier transform infrared (GIRA-FTIR) spectroscopy was used to characterize the ferroelectric behavior of a thin poly(vinylidene fluoride–trifluoroethylene) P(VDF–TrFE) copolymer. The lab-built GIRA-FTIR apparatus allowed the heating and corona poling process to be carried out whilst collecting the GIRA spectra of the thin polymer film. The Curie transition from the ferroelectric to paraelectric phase was confirmed from the abrupt change in intensity of the 849 cm⁻¹ band in the RA-FTIR spectrum. It was found that the Curie temperature dropped dramatically when the film thickness was lowered to below a certain critical value of approximately 100 nm. The switching of the CF₂ dipoles in the ferroelectric crystals after applying the external electric field could be determined by monitoring the change in the 849 cm⁻¹ band intensity. For the 600 nm thick P(VDF–TrFE) film, the switching of the dipoles appears to occur almost instantaneously, while the kinetics of dipole switching of the 75 nm thick film were significantly retarded. The repeated switchability of the CF₂ dipoles upon the application of a bipolar cyclic electric field was also confirmed. The bistability of the film due to remnant polarization was also confirmed from the absorbance of the 849 cm⁻¹ band after removing the applied voltage during corona poling.

Influence of doping BiYO3 and Nb2O5 on PTCR characteristics of BaTiO3 thermistor ceramics

Nb₂O₅-doped (1 − x)Ba_0.96Ca_0.04TiO₃-xBiYO₃ (where x = 0.01, 0.02, 0.03 and 0.04) lead-free PTC thermistor ceramics were prepared by a conventional solid state reaction method. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, Agilent E4980A and resistivity-temperature measurement instrument, were used to characteristic the lattice distortion, microstructure, temperature dependence of permittivity and resitivity-temperature dependence. It was revealed that the tetragonality c/a of the perovskite lattice, the microstructure and the Curie temperature changed with the BiYO₃ content. In order to decrease the room temperature resistivity, the effect of Nb₂O₅ on the room temperature resistivity was also studied, and its optimal doping content was finally chosen as 0.2 mol%. The 0.97Ba_0.96Ca_0.04TiO₃-0.03BiYO₃-0.002Nb₂O₅ thermistor ceramic exhibited a low ρ_RT of 3.98 × 10³ Ω cm, a typical PTCR effect of ρ_max/ρ_min > 10³ and a T_c of 153 °C.     

Synthesis and magnetic study of Co-Al substituted calcium hexaferrite

A series of calcium substituted polycrystalline ferrite ceramics with magnetoplumbite structures were synthesized using perfect stoichiometric mixtures of oxides with chemical composition, CaAl_xCo_xFe_12−2xO₁₉ (x = 2−5), by standard ceramic technique. The variation in the values ofH _candM _s,which depends on the additive content and the temperature, was studied by means of a vibration magnetometer. The strong variation observed in coercivity, saturation magnetization and Curie temperature with chemical composition give rise to the possibility of controlling these properties and hence applying these compounds in the millimeter— microwave range.

The Tb Doping Effect on the Room Temperature Magnetoresistance in(La_(1-x)Tb_x)_(0.67)Sr_(0.33)MnO_3(x≤0.4)

With substitution of La by Tb in (La_(1-x)Tb_x)_(0.67)Sr_(0.33)MnO_3, the room temperature magnetoresistance △R/R_0drops at first, then undergoes an increase near x≈0.1, and finally drops again. The value of room temperaturemagnetoresistance at a field H=12 kOe for (La_(0.9)Tb_(0.1))_(0.67)Sr_(0.33)MnO_3 is -3.56%. The enhancement of the roomtemperature magnetoresistance induced by an appropriate Tb substitution in (La_(1-x)Tb_x)_(0.67)Sr_(0.33)MnO_3 is correlatedwith the shifts of the Curie temperature and metal-insulator temperature to near room temperature. The drop ofthe room temperature magnetoresistance at large Tb doping-contents may be due to its lower T_C and T_(MI) far fromthe room temperature.
