Giant pyroelectricity in nanomembranes
Nature, 2022Pyroelectricity describes the generation of electricity by temporal temperature change in polar materials1-3. When free-standing pyroelectric materials approach the 2D crystalline limit, how pyroelectricity behaves remained largely unknown. Here, using three model pyroelectric materials whose bonding characters along the out-of-plane direction vary ...

Pyroelectricity is observed and measured in poly-2,4-hexadiyne-1,6-diol bis(p-toluene sulphonate), (abbreviated PTS), between 76 and 300 K. PTS is claimed to be monoclinic and to belong to the space group P21/c, i.e. it should have a center of symmetry, so that the observation of pyroelectricity is in conflict with the structure determination.

The Contribution of Pyroelectricity of AgI Crystals to Ice Nucleation
Angewandte Chemie - International Edition, 2018 The pyroelectricity of AgI crystals strongly affects the icing temperature of super-cooled water, as disentangled from that of epitaxy. This deduction was achieved by the design of polar crystalline ceramic pellets of AgI, with experimentally determined ...

Equivalent pyroelectric coefficient of a pyroelectric bimorph structure
Journal of Applied Physics, 2000A detailed formula for the equivalent pyroelectric coefficient of a bimorph structure acting as a pyroelectric detector was deduced. It is shown that electric fields occur in the structure when it is subjected to a temperature variation, due to the unequal charges generated by the two components.

Pyroelectric and Electrocaloric Materials
J. Mater. Chem. C, 2013Both the pyroelectric and electrocaloric effects originate from the cross-coupling between polarization and temperature in insulating dielectrics. Although both effects have been studied for many decades for various applications and large pyroelectric effect has been observed in many polar-dielectrics, it is only very recently that a large ...

Water ice usually is thought to have zero pyroelectricity by symmetry. However, biasing it with ions breaks the symmetry because of the induced partial dipole alignment. This unmasks a large pyroelectricity. Ions were soft-landed upon 1 mum films of water ice at temperatures greater than 160 K. When cooled below 140-150 K, the dipole alignment locks in.

Systematic Study of Pyroelectricity. Ferroelectricity and Pyroelectricity in the Perovskites
1975Abstract : The relation between ferroelectricity and pyroelectricity in the perovskites is explored using Devonshire's phenomenological theory of ferroelectricity and a new microscopic theory obtained by generalizing the conventional molecular field theory.

Organic Thin Films for Photonic Applications, 1993
Second-order nonlinear optical polymers must be poled in order to achieve the required non-centrosymmetry. Periodically poled materials are required for phase-matched operation of polarization converters1 and parametric devices2. For second-harmonic generation with modes of different order1, three-dimensionally (3-D) poled patterns are needed to ...

Relationship between the pyroelectric coefficient and the lattice dynamics of the pyroelectrics
Solid State Communications, 1983Abstract The experimental results for a temperature dependence of the pyroelectric coefficient are represented for twenty different crystals in a wide temperature range. Current theories are used for an analytical fitting of this result. It is shown that in the ferroelectrics the pyroelectric coefficient γσ is defined mainly by optical phonon modes ...
