Dielectric properties of 1 : 1 ordered Pb(Mg1/3Ta2/3)O-3 ceramics

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev

Thermally induced coarsening of the chemically ordered domains in Pb(Mg1/3Ta2/3)O-3 (PMT) ceramics promotes the studying of dielectric behavior of the 1: 1 B-cations ordered PMN-style complex perovskites. In this work, PMT ceramics with different degrees o ...

Electric-field-induced orthorhombic to rhombohedral phase transition in [111](C)-oriented 0.92Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O-3-0.08PbTiO(3)

Dragan Damjanovic, Nava Setter, Matthew Davis

Strain-field measurements and in situ polarized light microscopy have been used to evidence a hysteretic, irreversible electric-field-induced transition to a quasimonodomain rhombohedral phase in 111-oriented, pseudo-orthorhombic PZN-8PT [0.92Pb(Zn1/3 ...

The nonlinearity and subswitching hysteresis in hard and soft PZT

Dragan Damjanovic, Nava Setter

Nonlinear dielectric response of soft and hard PZT is experimentally studied at subswitching conditions. The correlations between defect disordering and parameters of nonlinear dielectric response and hysteresis are demonstrated and discussed. (c) 2005 Els ...

Analytical modeling of the apparent d(33) piezoelectric coefficient determined by the direct quasistatic method for different boundary conditions

Dragan Damjanovic, Nava Setter

The longitudinal piezoelectric coefficient d(33) measured by the quasistatic (Berlincourt-type) method is strongly dependent on the sample aspect ratio (thickness/lateral dimension) and the type of contacts used to collect the charge and apply the pressure ...

Domain engineering of the transverse piezoelectric coefficient in perovskite ferroelectrics

Dragan Damjanovic, Nava Setter, Matthew Davis

The transverse piezoelectric coefficient d(31)*, has been calculated for the six domain-engineered structures occurring in perovskite single crystals, using data for rhombohedral PMN-33PT [0.67Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O-3-0.33PbTiO(3)], orthorhombic potassium niobate ...

Microscopic aspects of the region-by-region polarization reversal kinetics of polycrystalline ferroelectric Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 films

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev, Enrico Colla, Igor Stolichnov, Lisa Malin

The region-by-region polarization switching in ferroelectric Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 thin films sandwiched between Pt electrodes has been directly observed using piezoelectric scanning probe microscopy. A resolution improved by one order-of-magnitude compared to the ...

Effect of spontaneous polarization screening on dielectric response of ferroelectric polydomain films

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev, Pavel Mokry

A theoretical study on the effect of spontaneous polarization screening on the dielectric response of ferroelectric films with 180 degrees domains going through the film thickness (through-domains) is presented. It has been shown by several researchers tha ...

Piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers based on PZT thin films

Nicolas Ledermann, Paul Muralt, Nava Setter

This paper describes fabrication and characterization results of piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers (pMUTs) based on 2-mu m-thick Pb(Zr0.53Ti0.47O3) (PZT) thin films. The applied structures are circular plates held at four bridges, thus par ...

Toward a unified description of nonlinearity and frequency dispersion of piezoelectric and dielectric responses in Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3

Dragan Damjanovic, Nava Setter

A phenomenological approach is proposed describing both nonlinearity and frequency dispersion in dielectric and piezoelectric properties of lead zirconate titanate, Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 (PZT), thin films and ceramics. The approach couples the frequency dependent r ...

Piezoelectric properties of Li- and Ta-modified (K0.5Na0.5)NbO3 ceramics

Dragan Damjanovic, Nava Setter, Evelyn Hollenstein, Matthew Davis

Lead-free, potassium sodium niobate piezoelectric ceramics substituted with lithium (K0.5-x/2,Na0.5-x/2,Li-x)NbO3 or lithium and tantalum (K0.5-x/2,Na0.5-x/2,Li-x)(Nb1-y,Ta-y)O-3 have been synthesized by traditional solid state sintering. The compositions ...

Correlation between dielectric anisotropy and positive or zero transverse piezoelectric coefficients in perovskite ferroelectric single crystals

Dragan Damjanovic, Nava Setter, Matthew Davis

The transverse piezoelectric coefficient (d(31)(star)) has been calculated for tetragonal barium titanate (BT) and lead titanate (PT) cut along nonpolar axes, over a range of temperatures, using the phenomenological Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire theory. It is ...

Surface-stimulated nucleation of reverse domains in ferroelectrics

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev, Guido Gerra

We present a model for reverse domain nucleation in ferroelectrics, which takes into account ferroelectric-electrode coupling in both homogeneous and random cases. The model provides a solution to the coercivity paradox-i.e., the large discrepancy between ...

Dynamics of polar clusters in relaxor ferroelectrics

Nava Setter, Kyle Brinkman

The paper brings results of far infrared transmission studies of relaxor ferroelectric PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3 and PbSc1/2Ta1/2O3 thin films performed at temperatures between 10K and 900K. The spectra clearly show that the lowest-frequency polar optic phonon soften ...
