Grain Size Effects in Barium Titanate
(1993)Due to its high crystallinity and purity, hydrothermal powder was used to study the effects of grain size and density on the dielectric properties of BaTiO3. Curie-Weiss analysis was used to analyze the results as porosity ... -
Electrostriction Measurements in Diffuse Phase Transition Materials and Perovskite Glass Ceramics
(1994)Materials with diffuse phase transitions are of much interest for applications in very smart systems. The main advantage they have over conventional materials is the tunable nature of their nonlinear properties such as ... -
Ultra-High Strain Ceramics with Multiple Field-Induced Phase Transitions
(1994)The induced polarization and longitudinal strain behavior of lanthanum- and titanium-modified antiferroelectric lead zirconate ceramics were measured as functions of electric field as high as 30 kV/mrn (300 kV/cm). Two ... -
Phase Transitions of Antiferroelectric Lead Zirconate Thin Films in High Electric Fields
(1996)Phase transitions in antiferroelectric lead zirconate thin films were studied at room temperature and at 77 K. The lead zirconate films were prepared on Pt coated Si substrates by a reactive magnetron co-sputtering mthod ... -
PLZT Phases near Lead Titanate. I. Determination by X-ray Diffraction
(2005)The room temperature phase diagram of PLZT, (Pb,La)(Zr,Ti)O3, or L/Z/T for L<12 and T<10 was constructed using X-ray diffraction patterns of sintered and crushed PLZT material. The orthorhombic antiferroelectric phase, a ... -
