Ferroelectric and dielectric characterization studies on relaxor- and ferroelectric-like strontium-barium niobates [PDF]
Ferroelectric domain structure evolution induced by an external electric field was investigated by means of nematic liquid crystal (NLC) method in two strontium-barium niobate single crystals of nominal composition: Sr_{0.70}Ba_{0.30}Nb_{2}O_{6} (SBN:70 -

Dynamics of relaxor ferroelectrics [PDF]
We study a dynamic model of relaxor ferroelectrics based on the spherical random-bond---random-field model and the Langevin equations of motion. The solution to these equations is obtained in the long-time limit where the system reaches an equilibrium state in the presence of random local electric fields.

Evolution of dielectric and ferroelectric relaxor states in Al3+-doped BaTiO3
In ferroelectric BaTiO3, we report the evolution of the Dielectric Relaxor and Ferroelectric Relaxor states as a function of B-site doped Al3+ concentration. The relaxor states occur after the paraelectric-ferroelectric phase transition upon cooling. Two

Role of matrix phase and electric field gradient in Na1/2Bi1/2TiO3BaTiO3:ZnO composites
Na1/2Bi1/2TiO3-based materials exhibit potential for applications in high-power ultrasonics. The composites of Na1/2Bi1/2TiO3-yBaTiO3 (NBTyBT; y denotes mole%) with ZnO inclusions were demonstrated to stabilize a ferroelectric equilibrium that led to ...

Optical properties of cubic and rhombohedral GeTe [PDF]
Calculations of the optical properties of GeTe in the cubic NaCl and rhombohedral ferroelectric structures are reported. The rhombohedral ferroelectric distortion increases the band gap from 0.11 eV to 0.38 eV.
