Electrical conduction properties of La - substituted bismuth titanate single crystals

Synthesis and structure of perovskite ScMnO3.

The rare-earth manganites RMnO3 (R = rare earth) are a class of important multiferroics with stable hexagonal structures for small R ion radius (Sc, Lu, Yb, ...). Metastable perovskite phases of these systems possess intriguing electronically driven electrical polarization, but the synthesis of the perovskite phase for the end member ScMnO3 system has proven to be elusive. We report the structu...

Preparation and Field-Induced Electrical Properties of Perovskite Relaxor Ferroelectrics

(111)-oriented and random oriented Pb0.8Ba0.2ZrO3 (PBZ) perovskite relaxor ferroelectric thin films were fabricated on Pt(111)/TiOx/SiO2/Si substrate by sol-gel method. Nano-scaled antiferroelectric and ferroelectric two-phase coexisted in both (111)-oriented and random oriented PBZ thin film. High dielectric tunability (i = 75%, E = 560 kV/ cm ) and figure-of-merit (FOM ~ 236) at room temperat...

Crystal structure of CaRhO3 polymorph: High-pressure intermediate phase between perovskite and post-perovskite

A high-pressure phase of CaRhO3 stable between perovskite and post-perovskite in P-T space was synthesized at 17 GPa and 1650 °C using a multi-anvil apparatus. The crystal structure of CaRhO3 was solved by the structure prediction evolutionary algorithm and was refined by Rietveld analysis of the synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction pattern, along with transmission electron microscopy observati...

Structural characteristics, electrical conduction and dielectric properties of gadolinium substituted cobalt ferrite

Gadolinium (Gd) substituted cobalt ferrites (CoFe2 xGdxO4, referred to CFGO) with variable Gd content (x = 0.0–0.4) have been synthesized by solid state reaction method. The crystal structure, surface morphology, chemistry, electrical conduction and dielectric properties of CFGO compounds have been evaluated. X-ray diffraction measurements indicate that CFGO crystallize in the inverse spinel ph...
