Pyroelectric or piezoelectric compensated ferroelectric composites

Modeling of poling , piezoelectric , and pyroelectric properties of ferroelectric 0 – 3 composites

A model for the piezoelectric and pyroelectric activities of 0–3 composites of ferroelectric particles in a linear matrix has been developed based on the polarization behavior of the inclusions. The model is applied to simulate the piezoelectric activity of a lead zirconate titanate/epoxy system polarized under different fields and the piezoand the pyroelectric properties of lead titanate/ poly...

Piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties of ferroelectric Langmuir-Blodgett polymer films

PIEZOELECTRIC AND PYROELECTRIC PROPERTIES OF PT/P(VDF-TrFE) 0-3 COMPOSITES

Lead titanate (PT)/vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene (P(VDF-TrFE)) copolymer 0-3 composites have been fabricated by solution blending followed by conipression-molding. In order to obtain piezoelectric and pyroelectric activities the composites have been polarized by a stepwise poling method. Samples with (i) polarization in the ceramic phase only and (ii) parallel polarization in the cerami...

Dynamic pyroelectric enhancement of homogeneous ferroelectric materials

The time-dependent thermal response to a step-wise temperature increase of a ferroelectric plate of BaTiO3 of finite thickness was determined using a combination of basic heat transfer relations to model the temperature variation in the ferroelectric as a function of time and a thermodynamic model based on a modified Landau formalism to calculate the polarization profile due to the temperature ...

Pyroelectric response of ferroelectric thin films

A thermodynamic formalism is developed to calculate the pyroelectric coefficients of epitaxial ~001! Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 ~BST 60/40! and Pb0.5Zr0.5O3 ~PZT 50/50! thin films on ~001! LaAlO3 , 0.29 LaAlO3 :0.35(Sr2TaAlO6) ~LSAT!, MgO, Si, and SrTiO3 substrates as a function of film thickness by taking into account the formation of misfit dislocations at the growth temperature. The role of internal str...
